Conveyor apparatus in which there is a first conveyor means (A) for transporting material in one direction and sec­ ond conveyor means (B) for transporting material in a different direction. Between the respective conveyor means there is transfer means (C) including a rotatable deflector dish having a concave surface (15) in a position to intercept material dis­ charged from the first conveyor means (A) and to deliver it to the second conveyor means (B). The deflector dish (15, 17) is mounted so that it is rotated, at least partially, by the momen­ tum of the material received from the first conveyor means (A).
