An off-loading conveyor having an endless roller chain to which is mounted bow tie rollers on mounting pins extending laterally from the chain. The bow tie rollers define concavities for receipt of product units to be conveyed and off-loaded at an appropriate station. Off-loading elements are mounted about axes perpendicular to and on the chains and include downwardly inclined portions extending to between the bow tie rollers and arms which cooperate with an actuation system to pivot the downwardly inclined portions through the concavities to remove product at appropriate stations.
