A multi-flight conveyor for transporting food articles is formed in its entirety from metals and plastic materials that are approved for use in food processing. Each conveyor flight frame comprises a ladder like structure wherein two stainless steel side rails are interconnected by a plurality of longitudinally spaced support rods formed of a lubricious plastic material. A stainless steel drive shaft is journalled at one end of the conveyor in sealed bearings. All of the rods and the drive shaft are then enclosed in a stainless steel wiremesh endless belt, which is supported and lubricated by the plastic support rods. All flights are substantially identical, except for length, and are detachably rigidly secured in a vertically stacked array which is angularly adjustable relative to the horizontal.
