Abstract
The invention comprises a slat conveyor for handling ice cream products (6) which are immersed for some time in processing vessels. Each slat (9) in the conveyor consists of an upper part (33) supported at a fixed height in the frame (40) of the machine and a lower part (34) that may be lifted and lowered by means of a lifting beam (41). The lower part (34) of the slat is supported by individually coupling and uncoupling means (44, 48). The means (44) are connected with the lifting beam (41) and the means (48) are connected with the frame. By activating and deactivating the means (44, 48) together with the lifting beam (41) it is possible to keep the products (6) in a raised position or in a lowered position throughout one or more successive operations. Hereby the process period may easily be varied and the slat conveyor can readily be adapted to different products just by changing the programming of the control unit for the coupling means (44, 48) and the lifting beam (41).
