Abstract: A side discharge belt conveyor assembly for fragile articles such as grapefruit sections employs three flat parallel conveyor belts all moving in the same direction, and having lateral spaces between adjacent side edges. Diverter blades are pivotally supported in close proximity to the upper surfaces of the belts in order to sweep the fragile articles laterally off all the side edges of the belts at predetermined locations, thereby minimizing the extent of required lateral travel of the fragile articles. Two oppositely-movable diverter blades above each side belt are connected to one diverter blade above a side portion of the wide center belt for simultaneous movement in unison between inoperative longitudinal positions and operative slanted positions. A deflector and additional pivoted blades are provided for diverting broken grapefruit sections from the central portion of the wide center belt to transverse discharge chutes at predetermined locations.
