Abstract
Example adjustable conveyor systems are disclosed herein. An example adjustable conveyor system includes a first conveyor having a first conveying surface facing upward and running lengthwise along a first longitudinal axis and a second conveyor having a second conveying surface facing upward and running lengthwise along a second longitudinal axis. The second conveyor is spaced apart from the first conveyor to define a span between the first conveyor and the second conveyor. The second conveyor is pivotal relative to the first conveyor. A first side guide protrudes upward and extends lengthwise between the first conveyor and the second conveyor proximate the span, where the first side guide has a first adjustable length. A second side guide protrudes upward and extends lengthwise between the first conveyor and the second conveyor proximate the span, where the second side guide has a second adjustable length. The first side guide is spaced apart from the second side guide to define a passageway between the first conveyor and the second conveyor. The first adjustable length automatically lengthens and the second adjustable length automatically shortens in reaction to the second conveyor pivoting relative to the first conveyor.
