<p>An endless conveyor for conveying substantially rotationally-symmetrical products (P), comprising at least one endless conveying element (1, 2) and a number of transverse elements (3) extending substantially perpendicularly to a conveying direction, wherein at least one hourglass-shaped roller (4) is mounted on each transverse element (3), wherein the mutual distance between the successive transverse elements (3) in a first path part (A) is smaller than in a second path part (B), wherein a first control device (5) is provided effecting an increase of distance between the transverse elements (3) at a first transition from the first (A) to the second path part (B), wherein a second control device (5b) is provided effecting a decrease of distance between the transverse elements (3) at a second transition (02) from the second (B) to the first path part (A), wherein in at least a portion (B1) of the second path part (B), a rotationally-symmetrical support element (6) has moved between each pair of successive hourglass-shaped rollers (4) for supporting the products (P) to be conveyed.</p> |
