Abstract
Conveyor apparatus in which there is a first conveyor for transporting material in one direction and a second conveyor for transporting material in a different direction. Between the respective conveyors there is a rotatable deflector dish having a concave surface in a position to intercept material discharged from the first conveyor and to deliver it to the second conveyor. The deflector dish is mounted so that it is rotated, at least partially, by the momentum of the material received from the first conveyor.
