ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a conveyor apparatus, and more specifically to a conveyor apparatus that is capable of accepting a web of material having little to no inherent structural integrity from a first direction, inverting the material, and dispatching said material in a second direction. A conveyor apparatus for handling and inverting a web of material in accordance with the present invention comprises a receiving conveyor having an upper run for receiving the web of material after inversion. The present apparatus further includes an inversion conveyor having first and second legs arranged at an angle to each other, with the second leg of the conversion conveyor being positioned above the upper run of the receiving conveyor.
