ABSTRACT:
A conveyor belt transport system having hopper (20) for delivering fruits or vegetables to a longitudinal passageway (22) defined by two sets of opposing endless loops conveyor belts (24). A plurality of tensioner assemblies (30), which have two opposing pair of independently acting belt roller assemblies (70 and 100), are provided to independently tension each set of conveyor belts (24) along both an x and a y axis so that each individual food product, regardless of shape and size, is subjected to uniform belt tension. Each pair of opposing belt roller assemblies are interconnected to a single cam ring (34 and 52), such that displacement of one belt roller by food product results in reciprocal and equal displacement of the other opposing belt roller, thus facilitating centering of the food product as it is delivered to a rotating cutter blade assembly.
