摘要： A system for controlling a flow of articles (100) includes an infeed conveyor (130) providing a plurality of articles to the system and conveying articles in a feed direction. A reversible conveyor (160) is at least partially contiguous with and parallel to the infeed conveyor (130) and provides articles to a first outfeed conveyor (170) providing the plurality of articles in the feed direction to a first downstream operation or a second outfeed conveyor (180) providing the plurality of articles in a direction opposite the feed direction to a second downstream operation.
