The present invention relates to an apparatus (10) and a method for treating a conveyor belt (20) with a treatment fluid (40) while minimizing the amount of over spray of the treatment fluid (40) into the air and onto the surrounding equipment and materials. The apparatus (310) and method may be used to spray a high quality non-stick coating (40c) onto the previous conveyor belt (20) without over spray of the non-stick coating (40c) onto surrounding plant equipment and materials. Over spray is minimized by the placement of treatment fluid flow diverters (36, 38) at the conveyor belt entrance (32) and exit (34) to divert the direction of flow of treatment fluid (40) away from the entrance (32) and exit (34). Rotatable brushes (50) may be provided within the fluid treatment chamber (30) of the apparatus (110) to facilitate the cleaning of the conveyor belt (20). The conveyor belt entrance (32), exit (34), and treatment chamber (30) may be shaped to accommodate the passage of a self-stacking conveyor belt (20).
