ABSTRACT:
A food processing system, particularly a spiral food freezing system, comprises a food processing section, a conveyor belt for conveying food products through the food processing section, and a conveyor belt tension reducer engaged with the conveyor belt to reduce tension in the conveyor belt at a selected location, such as at the commencement of an infeed section to the food processing section. The tension reducer is provided as an infeed assist drive that is engaged with the conveyor belt at the commencement of the system's infeed section to drive slack into the conveyor belt at the transition from a conveyor belt return section to the inlet section.
