CONTINUOUS CONVEYOR FOR PASTA PRODUCTS INSIDE A DRYER
First Claim
1. A device for making pellets of a material that can be made to solidify by changing its temperature, the device comprising an endless belt (6) on which the material is placed at a feeding location and is conveyed along a processing path (7) to a guide roller (4) at a discharging location, and means (2) for changing the temperature of the material on the belt (6) along the processing path (7), characterised in that the endless belt (6) comprises a plurality of transverse lamellae (9), which are articulately juxtaposed and have at least one duct (11) which is extended in the longitudinal direction of the belt and has, between the edges of each lamella against adjacent lamellae a transverse ridge (13) of a height smaller than the depth of the duct (11).

Abstract
A device for making pellets of a material that can be made to solidify by changing its temperature comprises an endless belt (6) on which the material is placed at a feeding location and is conveyed along a processing path (7) to a guide roller (4) at a discharging location, and a member (2) for changing the temperature of the material on the belt (6) along the processing path (7). The endless belt (6) comprises a plurality of transverse lamellae (9), which are articulately juxtaposed and have at least one duct (11) which is extended in the longitudinal direction of the belt and has, between the edges of each lamella against adjacent lamellae a transverse ridge (13) of a height smaller than the depth of the duct (11).
