[0028] Hole side plates are arranged on both sides of the net conveying belt 3 and the transfer conveying belt 9. The hole side plates are used for preventing the leafy vegetables from falling from the side. The hole side plates are uniformly provided with through holes, thereby facilitating the air and water permeation.
[0029] A backflow groove 10 is obliquely arranged between the rack 2 and the ice hanging pool 4. The backflow groove 10 is located below the inclined discharging conveying section 34. The leafy vegetables after ice hanging complete the water draining at the inclined discharging conveying section 34.
