ABSTRACT:
A vibratory apparatus and method is provided for cooling product as it is conveyed from one station to another. The vibratory apparatus has a conveyor with means for sensing a predetermined weight of product accumulated at a loading portion of the conveyor whereupon the conveyor is operated to convey the product along the conveyor. When the product has been conveyed a sufficient distance along the conveyor for the weight of the product on the loading portion to fall below a second predetermined weight, the sensing means stops the conveyor. The continuously fed product again accumulates on the loading portion of the conveyor until the sensing means senses the first predetermined weight for again operating the conveyor. The cycle is continuously repeated. The accumulated product dwells a sufficient period of time on the conveyor to cool the product which cooling is aided by the vibratory conveying action.
