ABSTRACT:
The disclosure relates to a conveyor system wherein an article being transported on the conveyor system has its orientation changed from a vertical position at its point of entry to a horizontal position at its point of discharge. The orientation occurs through the use of air power jets which are appropriately located to assist in the re-orientation of the article being transported. The re-orientation occurs without any reduction in conveyor speed and in fact, results in a thirty-three to seventy-five percent increase in overall capacity. Additionally, the system is adjustable in that it can receive different sizes cans.
