Abstract: Means of a chain drive (3) driven conveyor belt (1) comprises a drive drum (2) and a deflecting drum, which are respectively arranged in axial direction at one end of the conveyor belt. The conveyor band of the conveyor belt comprises many individual cords or cloths, which are successively arranged in the longitudinal direction of the conveyor belt and comprises loop (6), which is extending perpendicular to the conveying direction at least at its downstream end. A hollow rod (7) for cord entrainment is led at both ends through the loop. Means of a chain drive (3) driven conveyor belt (1) comprises a drive drum (2) and a deflecting drum, which are respectively arranged in axial direction at one end of the conveyor belt. The conveyor band of the conveyor belt comprises many individual cords or cloths, which are successively arranged in the longitudinal direction of the conveyor belt and comprises loop (6), which is extending perpendicular to the conveying direction at least at its downstream end. A hollow rod (7) for cord entrainment is led at both ends through the loop. A driving pin, which is connected with chain link, is provided with the traction chain of the chain drive, at its two ends. The drive drum, which is connected with the chain drive and/or the deflecting drum of the conveyor belt, comprise a gear-shaped profile form parallel to the longitudinal axis of the drive drum and the deflection drum. The rod for cord entrainment, which is led into the loops of the cords or cloth, is placed in the region of the drive drum. The deflecting drum is placed completely between two teeth of gear-shaped profile form. Independent claims are also included for: (1) a device for processing foodstuffs, preferably for freezing, fermenting and baking preforms or finished products of dough, comprising a box-shaped housing, which comprises an input- and output opening on opposite sides, and a first movable support frame, which is provided in the housing, where (a) the support frame comprises n number of superimposed arranged storage spaces for the foodstuff in the form of driven conveyor belts, (b) the storage spaces are raised and lowered successively to the height of the input opening by means of a lifting device, which is connected with a control device, (c) at least a second movable support frame is arranged downstream to the first movable support frame with n number of superimposed arranged storage spaces, (d) the second support frame comprises at least two superposed partial frameworks mutually separated by a distance with each n-1 fixed storage space in the form of driven conveyor belts, (e) at least a third movable support frame with n storage spaces are arranged downstream to the second support frame in the form of driven conveyor belt, (f) the third movable support frame is raised and lowered over the lifting device, which is connected with the control device; and (2) a means of the chain drive driven conveyor device for fermenting and baking, preferably receiving and/or transferring foodstuff, preferably dough preforms or dough finished products, comprising the drive drum and the deflecting drum, which are respectively arranged in axial direction at one end of the conveyor device, where (ai) the conveyor device comprises a frame with a planar surface for rotating the traction chains of the chain drive, (aii) a rod is provided axially at predetermined distances, (aiii) the ends of the rod are respectively connected to the chain link of the traction chain of the chain drive so that the rods are arranged perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the conveyor device and rotated with the traction chains, (aiv) the drive drum and/or the deflecting drum of the conveying device, which is connected to the chain drive, comprises gear-shaped profile form parallel to the longitudinal axis of the drive drum or the deflecting drum, (av) the rods are placed in the drive drum and/or the deflecting drum completely between two teeth of the gear-shaped profile form, (avi) the distances between the rods in longitudinal direction of the conveyor are selected so that a fermenter or a baking sheet is placed between two successive rods, and (avii) the fermenter or the baking sheet is moved through the rod viewed backwards in the conveying direction along the flat surface of the framework in the conveying direction.
