ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The present invention allows for the rapid conversion of food packaging machines to accommodate different sizes of containers in a fairly simple manner. This is accomplishes through the use of a machine having a two-component conveyor, namely a base plate sized to receive the largest container and a replacable cover plate releasably secured to the base plate and having aperatures alignable with the aperatures of the base plate but sized to receive one particular size of container. When a different size of container is to be packaged the cover plate is replaced with the appropriate size cover plate and various internal components of the apparatus adjusted through the large aperature of the base plate. The base plate provides structural support for the cover plate and minimizes the possibility of damage through buckling or bending of the conveyor plates. This two-piece conveyor system also allows the base plate to be made of light weight aluminum and only the cover plate need be made of stainless steel.
