An apparatus for conveying horticultural products, which includes a component for cyclic movement along an advancement direction of a number of rotating assemblies; at least some pairs of assemblies, which are consecutive, define respective conveyance units for corresponding horticultural products, which can be rested on the pairs substantially above the interspace between the assemblies. Each assembly includes at least four rotating and circular disks; in each unit the external disks of each assembly have a larger diameter than the internal disks of the same assembly and a first internal disk, which is larger, of each assembly has a diameter that is larger than the diameter of the other internal disk, which is smaller; moreover, the larger disks and the smaller disks are arranged so as to be mutually offset in the two assemblies of the same unit.
An apparatus for conveying horticultural products, comprising means for cyclic movement along an advancement direction of a plurality of rotating assemblies, arranged in series along said advancement direction with a possibility to rotate about respective rotation axes which are perpendicular to said advancement direction, at least some pairs of said rotating assemblies, which are consecutive, defining respective conveyance units for corresponding horticultural products, which can be rested on said pairs of said rotating assemblies substantially above an interspace between said rotating assemblies, wherein each one of said rotating assemblies comprises at least four rotating and circular disks which are aligned coaxially along the respective said rotation axis, in each said conveyance unit said external disks of each said rotating assembly having a larger diameter than said internal disks of the same said rotating assembly and a first said internal disk, which is larger, of each said rotating assembly having a diameter that is larger than a diameter of another said internal disk, which is smaller, said larger disks and said smaller disks being arranged so as to be mutually offset in the two said rotating assemblies of the same said conveyance unit.
