ABSTRACT:
A conveyor system in which the lateral distance between the parallel conveyor belts can be easily adjusted includes two parallel guide-rails for guiding the two endless parallel belts riding in the guide-rails. One guide rail is mounted to a plurality of fixed supports, while the other guide rail is mounted to a plurality of laterally mobile supports. Each of the mobile supports include a pinion gear rotatably mounted thereto, where each pinion gear is engaged with a laterally fixed rack mounted on a standing assembly. The pinion gears are also coupled together such that they rotate in unison, thereby guaranteeing that each of the mobile support columns translate laterally in unison.
