The forming apparatus causes the fins to be discharged outwardly in the lengthwise direction thereof. Fin handling are positioned adjacent the forming apparatus for collecting and transporting the fins. The fin handling apparatus includes an endless conveyor having a substantially straight upper reach positioned adjacent the forming apparatus and movable substantially transverse to the direction of movement of the fins as discharged from the forming apparatus. A plurality of elongated fin collectors are fixed to the endless conveyor, being spaced a predetermined distance apart throughout the lengthwise direction of the conveyor, the predetermined distance being equal to the centerline-to-centerline distance between adjacent fins as discharged from the forming apparatus. The collectors projecting outwardly in substantially transverse relationship to the endless conveyor for permitting a plurality of fins to be collected thereon in stacked relationship.
