Abstract: A live roller conveyor for discrete articles of varying size and shape, such as fruit, has two sets of laterally spaced resiliently compliant or spongy feed rollers which are arranged and staggered in uniform spaced relation to define an intervening essentially continuous article passage of generally serpentine configuration, the rollers being driven in rotary directions to feed the articles in one direction through the passage. The conveyor rollers may be used to lower articles from a high level to a low level or to raise the articles from a low level. The conveyor rollers may also be combined with heating means and blower means to function as a dryer for washed articles.
