Abstract
Horizontal motion conveyors for moving material and methods for reversing such horizontal motion conveyors are disclosed. In some embodiments, the horizontal motion conveyor includes a motor such as a servomotor that is connected to the driveshaft that drives the horizontal motion of the conveyor. In some embodiments, the speed profile of the pan may be changed to reverse direction of the flow of material on the pan without slowing or stopping the drive motor.
