Abstract

Conveyor assemblies, which by way of an endless chain, move foodstuff packages between different processing machines are customary in e.g. the dairy industry. Up to now the conveyor assembly generally was 'tailor-made' for each dairy, which entails unnecessary cost and other difficulties. In accordance with the present invention a conveyor assembly of a modular design is proposed which makes it easily adaptable to differnt needs and localities. More particularly, an intermediate guideway for an endless chain is made use of as a spacer element between supporting sides of the assembly, thus providing a simple and stable construction. Similarly shaped fastening devices, moreover, serve as joint pieces between different guideway sections, thus facilitating fitting-up and reducing cost.
