ABSTRACT:
A product conveying and accumulation system employs at least one product delivery conveyor which transports products from an upstream location and another conveyor which delivers products to a downstream location. Dual U-shaped accumulator conveyors in the system are positioned to accept upstream products from the delivery conveyors and to transport the products to the downstream conveyor. The dual conveyors each have straightaway conveyor sections which are aligned parallel to each other. Accumulator sections are formed at these parallel alignments. In one configuration, the two straightaway sections of one of the dual conveyors are parallel to and in adjacent alignment with the straightaway sections of the other of the dual conveyors. In another configuration, the straightaway section of one of the dual conveyors is parallel to and in adjacent alignment with one straightaway section of the other conveyor, and the other straightaway sections of the two conveyors are parallel to and in spaced relation to each other. This permits adjustment of the spacing and angle between an accumulator section of these conveyors.
