Abstract
A conveyor belt including displacement apparatus for laterally displacing pieces of a product across the width of the moving conveyor belt. The apparatus may include a rotatable paddle wheel with radially extending fins or roller sets that are engageable with the underside of the belt. The paddle wheel is rotated to rapidly elevate the belt upwardly and downwardly to project the pieces off the belt in a trajectory that will displace the pieces laterally relative to the direction of travel of the belt. In a preferred embodiment, the fins or roller sets are tapered such that the center of the belt has the greatest upward (and downward) movement and the belt near its side edges has the least movement.
