Abstract: A transport system for the drying of spaghetti or other long pasta includes swinging or vibrating belts to align the pasta in bunches of parallel lengths, at the same time moving so as to prevent the pasta from sticking together, thereby facilitating the drying of the individual pasta lengths. Principally, conveyor belts or the like are mounted with sufficient slack which, combined with cross bars and side supports, forms a series of transverse depressions into which the pasta is concentrated. The depressions shift linearly as the belt moves, thus preventing the pasta from sticking together. Various arrangements are provided causing vibration of the belts in addition to the forming of the depressions.
