Abstract
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.
