A conveyor module adapted to receive products thereon for translating a nd simultaneously rotating the product 90.degree. in going from its infeed end to its outfeed end. An endless chain is deployed about spaced-apart sprocket wheels, one at the infeed end and one at the outfeed end and a plurality of product support plates are linked to the chain by a coupler that permits rotation of the support plate about an axis that is perpendicular to the support plate. The support plate carries a cam follower that is adapted to engage a cam track that is configured to impart the 90.degree. rotation to the support plate as the endless chain carries the support plate between the infeed end and the outfeed end.
