1-28. (canceled)
A dip-molded article processing machine comprising:
- a first conveyor assembly defining a first conveyor surface;
- a first compression section comprising one or more rollers with an outer peripheral surface spaced apart from the first conveyor surface by a first gap distance;
- and
- a second compression section comprising a second conveyor assembly defining a second conveyor surface, the second conveyor surface facing the first conveyor surface and spaced apart from the first conveyor surface by a second gap distance,
- wherein the first gap distance is greater than a minimum gap distance of the second gap distance.
