Manufactures of skinless hot dogs have traditionally used portable bulk containers or belt style surge conveyors to accumulate the cooked hot dogs after the temporary plastic casings are removed and the product is ready to be fed to the packaging equipment. This manufacturer, like many others, used belt conveyors because they allowed for less upfront expenses over other conveying options. As this manufacturer found out, the skinless hotdogs were dragged along the interior walls’ belt line seams. The fragile product can be easily deformed or broken at this stage in the process and that is where a horizontal motion accumulation conveyor offers unparallel performance in maximizing line yields by significantly reducing product degradation. The horizontal motion accumulation c
