An apparatus for producing, collecting and transporting platelike fins, including fin forming means for simultaneously forming plural fins in adjacent side-by-side relationship from sheet material. The forming means causes the fins to be discharged outwardly in the lengthwise direction thereof. Fin handling means are positioned adjacent the forming means for collecting and transporting the fins. The fin handling means includes an endless conveyor having a substantially straight upper reach positioned adjacent the forming means and movable substantially transverse to the direction of movement of the fins as discharged from the forming means. A plurality of elongated fin collectors are fixed to the endless conveyor, being spaced a predetermined distance apart throughout the lengthwise direction of the conveyor, said predetermined distance being equal to the centerline-to-centerline distance between adjacent fins as discharged from the forming means. The collectors projecting outwardly in substantially transverse relationship to the endless conveyor for permitting a plurality of fins to be collected thereon in stacked relationship.
