A dunnage conversion machine, comprising a conversion assembly having a forming assembly for shaping a stock material into a relatively lower density strip of dunnage, a feed assembly downstream of the forming assembly, the feed assembly having at least one rotating element to draw a stock material through the forming assembly; a severing assembly downstream of the conversion assembly to sever discrete lengths of dunnage products from the strip of dunnage produced by the conversion assembly; and an output chute downstream of the severing assembly, configured to receive dunnage products from the severing assembly; characterized by the output chute includes a housing having a passage therethrough, the passage having an inlet at an inlet end, and an outlet at an outlet end spaced from the inlet end, the passage extending in a downstream direction from the inlet to the outlet; and wherein the output chute includes a lower guide surface that defines a bottom side of the passage, the lower guide surface having an upstream end toward the inlet and a downstream end toward the outlet, and the upstream end is spaced from a centerline of the passage a distance that is greater than a distance that the downstream end is spaced from the centerline of the passage to provide an inclined surface from the inlet to the outlet, such that a cross-section of the passage decreases from the inlet to the outlet; wherein the output chute includes an upper guide surface that defines a top side of the passage that is spaced from and nonparallel to the lower guide surface, the upper guide surface having an upstream end toward the inlet and a downstream end toward the outlet, the upstream end is spaced from a centerline of the passage a distance that is greater than a distance that the downstream end is spaced from the centerline of the passage to provide an inclined surface from the inlet to the outlet; such that the upper guide surface and the lower guide surface converge to a minimum spacing therebetween adjacent the outlet; wherein each of the upper and lower guide surfaces (62 and 60) includes at least two rotating drive elements that are driven by a motor to advance dunnage products through the output chute, wherein the lower guide surface is defined by a conveyor belt and wherein the upper guide surface is defined by a conveyor belt. a conversion assembly having a forming assembly for shaping a stock material into a relatively lower density strip of dunnage, a feed assembly downstream of the forming assembly, the feed assembly having at least one rotating element to draw a stock material through the forming assembly; a severing assembly downstream of the conversion assembly to sever discrete lengths of dunnage products from the strip of dunnage produced by the conversion assembly; and an output chute downstream of the severing assembly, configured to receive dunnage products from the severing assembly; characterized by the output chute includes a housing having a passage therethrough, the passage having an inlet at an inlet end, and an outlet at an outlet end spaced from the inlet end, the passage extending in a downstream direction from the inlet to the outlet; and wherein the output chute includes a lower guide surface that defines a bottom side of the passage, the lower guide surface having an upstream end toward the inlet and a downstream end toward the outlet, and the upstream end is spaced from a centerline of the passage a distance that is greater than a distance that the downstream end is spaced from the centerline of the passage to provide an inclined surface from the inlet to the outlet, such that a cross-section of the passage decreases from the inlet to the outlet; wherein the output chute includes an upper guide surface that defines a top side of the passage that is spaced from and nonparallel to the lower guide surface, the upper guide surface having an upstream end toward the inlet and a downstream end toward the outlet, the upstream end is spaced from a centerline of the passage a distance that is greater than a distance that the downstream end is spaced from the centerline of the passage to provide an inclined surface from the inlet to the outlet; such that the upper guide surface and the lower guide surface converge to a minimum spacing therebetween adjacent the outlet; wherein each of the upper and lower guide surfaces (62 and 60) includes at least two rotating drive elements that are driven by a motor to advance dunnage products through the output chute, wherein the lower guide surface is defined by a conveyor belt and wherein the upper guide surface is defined by a conveyor belt.
