Apparatuses, systems, and methods are disclosed for a dual conveyor sorting system. An apparatus includes a first conveyor belt assembly that includes a first conveyor belt moving at a first rate in a first direction. An apparatus includes a second conveyor belt assembly that includes a second conveyor belt moving at a second rate in a second direction. The first rate is faster than the second rate and the first direction is the same as the second direction. The first conveyor belt assembly is positioned along a first axis perpendicular to the second conveyor belt assembly positioned along a second axis. A first edge of the first conveyor belt assembly is positioned substantially adjacent to a first edge of the second conveyor belt assembly.

A conveyor system includes an external ball-belt and an internal driver belt for driving balls in the ball-belt. A first drive drives the ball-belt in the longitudinal direction, and a second drive drives the driver belt in a transverse direction. The second drive is located outside the ball-belt and located such that a return portion of the ball-belt runs between the second drive and the driver belt.

A high angle conveyor includes a first conveyor belt, a second conveyor belt, a first idler roller engaged with the first conveyor belt, the first idler roller being coupled to a first pivot frame, and a second idler roller engaged with the second conveyor belt, the second idler roller being coupled to a second pivot frame. The first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt define an inflection point between the first idler roller and the second idler roller. The first and second pivot frames are pivotable from an initial position toward an expanded position in response to a lump of material larger than a specified capacity of the high angle conveyor passing through the inflection point.

A conveyance device capable of performing traveling operation and turning operation, a planar conveyance apparatus, and a conveyance unit. A conveyance device 1 has a travel part 5 having a belt 2 for allowing an article to be placed, and a turning table 6 that supports the travel part 5. The belt 2 is an endless member suspended between a pair of rollers 3. The belt 2 travels by being engaged with a driving body 4 to which power of a motor for traveling 9 is transmitted by a drive shaft 14. Power of a motor for turning 8 is transmitted to the turning table 6, so that the turning table 6 turns. That is, when the motor for turning 8 is driven, the travel part 5 turns along with the turning table 6.

A conveyor device for a transport container for spectacle lenses includes a linear conveyor unit for conveying the transport container in a rectilinear direction, a rotary unit for rotating the linear conveyor unit, and a first housing element for the rotary unit. The first housing element includes a plate and rotates conjointly with the linear conveyor unit in the direction of rotation. The first housing element that conjointly rotates in the rotation of the linear conveyor unit has a first opening through which the linear conveyor unit penetrates the plate and wherein the linear conveyor unit is spaced apart from the plane by an assigned gap dimension, which is smaller than or equal to 5 mm.
