DESCRIZIONE
This invention relates to an infeed system (100) for receiving and turning incoming food products, in particular de-headed fish, prior to entering a processing machine, where the food products are arranged such that a longitudinal axis of the food products is essentially parallel to a conveying direction of the incoming food products, comprising: - a pair of conveyor structures (101, 102), where the pair of conveyor structures comprises at least two side by side arranged endless belts (103, 104) extending from an infeed end (106) of the infeed system to an outfeed end (107) of the infeed system, where, at the infeed end, the conveyor structures are arranged above and below each other, and where the belts are twisted towards the outfeed end such that at the outfeed end the conveyor structures are arranged side by side, - a driving unit (111a,b) for driving the conveyor structures in opposite rotational directions such that adjacent sides of the conveyor structures are moving in the same direction (108, 109) from the infeed end towards the outfeed end, wherein at the infeed end the incoming food products are received and clamped between the belts of the conveyor structures and advanced from the infeed end towards the outfeed end while simultaneously rotating the received food products around said longitudinal axis of the food products.
