A return flow conveyor device for warming food product includes an inlet tray upon which to place the food product, an outlet tray and a platform to transfer the food product from the inlet tray to the outlet tray, warming the product within a warming compartment of a housing. Positioning means are provided to move the platform. The platform is pivotally connected to the positioning means so that the platform may be positioned horizontally, vertically or combination thereof, during the cycling process. Transportation platform as well as inlet and outlet trays have arrays of appendages which pass in-between each other making possible for the transportation platform to pick up a food item from the inlet tray and after passing it by the heating elements depositing a food item onto the outlet tray.
