    摘要: A vibratory conveyor system includes two or more product transfer pans bearing lengthwise channels along which products travel, each pan being linked to a respective shaker base via respective spring arms. Successive product transfer pans each have one or more of (1) greater vibration distance oriented along the direction of product travel, (2) greater vibrational frequency/speed, and/or (2) lesser spring arm angle with respect to vertical, than the prior product transfer pan(s). These features assist with obtaining a high degree of uniform product alignment, with products being aligned lengthwise within the channels of the pans, even where products are non-rigid and malleable/reshapeable (for example, for meat cutlets and fish fillets).

    摘要: Batter is applied to food products by depositing the products atop a coating pan which vibrates such that the products are transported along the pan. As this occurs, batter is supplied atop the coating pan and the products. The coating pan is preferably configured such that the products tumble across the pan, thereby better ensuring that the products are coated on all sides with batter. The products are then received on a vibrating drainage pan having a perforated drainage pan surface, whereby excess batter drains from the batter-coated products through the perforations as the products are transported across the drainage pan. Batter-coated products leaving the drainage pan can then be received by a fryer, oven, conveyor, or other food processing equipment.
