<p>A conveyor system for delicate items such as mushrooms has a roller-type of conveyor chain (10) arranged to run with its pin axes generally vertical. At spaced intervals along the chain are mounted support arms (13) projecting laterally from the chain. The chain-end of each arm has a re-entrant which resiliently embraces two rollers (18) of the chain, and allows the arm to release from the chain in the event of an obstruction. At the other end, each arm is bifurcated to define two limbs (36 and 37). One limb has a surface which is resiliently movable away from the confronting surface of the other limb.</p> |
