Abstract
The invention relates to a device for conveying products, in particular fruit, including two conveyors extending as an extension of one another and having an intermediate transfer zone in which they are disposed side by side and parallel with respect to one another: a first conveyor provided with rollers (7) defining, in pairs, a housing for a product, and a second conveyor provided with conveyor receptacles (15) mounted to tilt on a support (21), each of these receptacles being adapted to be interposed between two rollers (7) in the transfer zone, in order to support the product initially housed between these rollers (7) after these rollers have been retracted.
