摘要：
A processing apparatus (122), (114) for processing food products, comprising: an elongated processing vessel (116), having a first end (126) and a second end (128), to contain a processing liquid (30) in which food products can be processed； feeding means (18) arranged at the first end of the processing vessel, the feeding means being configured to feed the food products to the processing vessel at the first end thereof； a screw conveyor in the form of a rotating drum (122) with vanes, which is located within the processing vessel to transport the food products through the processing liquid from the first end to the second end of the processing vessel, the rotating drum with vanes comprising a cylindrical drum wall (123) having a first end wall defining an intake opening (143.1) leading into the drum, and a second opposite end wall defining an outlet opening (143.2 ) leading out of the drum, and a helical screw feed in the form of a helical screw (144) extending inwardly from an inner side of the drum wall, the helical screw having an upstream end (146) located next to the intake opening and a downstream end (148) located next to the outlet opening, guide means (162), (164), (56.1), (56.2), (5 6.3) that they are operable to guide the food products to optimal positions with respect to the screw conveyor feed of the screw conveyor, in which the food products can be collected by the screw conveyor； and discharge means (170), (172) which are arranged at the second end of the processing vessel to withdraw food products from the processing vessel and a conveyor of food products to a place away from it, characterizing the processing apparatus by which the guiding means comprise a first guiding formation extending from the water end of the helical screw of the rotating drum with vanes in a position adjacent to the intake opening of the drum and which is configured to guide the movement of the food products entering the drum through the intake opening to a first deposit zone
