The lower wall of the housing is provided with a first set of baffles spaced from one another along the length of the housing and extending towards the upper wall of the housing. The upper wall of the housing is provided with a second set of baffles spaced from one another along the length of the housing and extending towards the lower wall. The first and second sets of baffles bound betweem them a gap defining a transport path for items to be treated. At least one set of baffles is adjustable so as to vary the width of the gap.
