<p>An apparatus and method are provided for combing bacon bellies (15, 15a) or similar generally compressible items in order to transform a conveyed flow of those items (15) into a stream of those items, each of which (15a) is suspended from a comb (16a) which impales the item. The thus combed items are then suitable for transport along a track means (14) to subject the item to treatment conditions such as transporting them into smoking and flavoring environments. The apparatus and method are particularly well suited for combing pork bellies and as a component of a commercial line in which pork bellies are processed into sliced and packaged bacon products. <IMAGE></p> |
