Apparatus method of treating vegetables, fruit pieces, etc by immersing them deeply in a liquid bath of inverted "j" shape ( 1 ) holding vertically arranged endless conveyor ( 2 ). Material fed by conveyor ( 8 ) drops onto perforated flight ( 3 A) of conveyor ( 2 ) at a region where it is above liquid level ( 5 ). During subsequent descent of flight ( 3 A), buoyant material, e.g. apple slices, tends to rise through the liquid but is forced down by following flight or paddle ( 3 B). After rounding bottom turn ( 4 ) the material, confined by flights ( 3 ) is uplifted until it is discharged from reservoir ( 1 ) for a subsequent treatment. |
