Abstract: A conveyor assembly may include a frame assembly comprising: a pair of side rails; a plurality of cross brace members coupled to the side rails; a plurality of deck members coupled to the plurality of cross-brace members, the deck members positioned between the pair of side rails; and a tail assembly mounted at a first end of the frame assembly, the tail assembly comprising: a pair of first side plates coupled to the side rails; a pair of second side plates, where each of the second side plates is coupled to one of the first side plates, the second side plates are configured to selectively pivot with respect to the first side plates, where each of the second side plates define a slot arranged to receive a shaft; and a plurality of tail pulleys rotatably coupled to the shaft and positioned between the second side plates.

Abstract: A conveying surface is defined by outputs with respective orientations that can be varied while maintaining the input in a constant orientation, and which can be used to more than a single direction. Power may be transmitted from a source of linear power to the conveying surface through rotation about an axis perpendicular to the conveying surface. Debris can be removed from articles conveyed on the outputs defining the conveying surface. The outputs of the conveying surface can include debris control structures to control migration of debris into the outputs.
