ABSTRACT:
A conveyor system is set forth. The conveyor system includes first and second strip conveyors. The first and second strip conveyors comprise a common input end that is common to both of the first and second strip conveyors. A lateral drive is disposed to drive the common input end in a lateral direction. A first output portion terminates the output of the first strip conveyor and a second output portion terminates the output of the second strip conveyor. A lateral adjustment assembly is used for laterally adjusting the first and second output portions independent of one another. The first and second strip conveyors are particularly useful in a conveyor system for accepting one or more streams of product input and converting the one or more streams to a format that is suitable for automatic loading to a subsequent machine.
