A singulator conveying system comprising: at least three driven conveyors (3,4,5) arranged in an adjacent parallel configuration; a first conveyor having a high friction surface for conveying articles forward along a vertical side wall where incoming articles are positioned there along; a second conveyor having a low friction surface disposed adjacent said first conveyor at a lower elevation, said second conveyor comprising a series of driven rollers having rotary axes skewed relative to a longitudinal direction of travel so that the articles are conveyed simultaneously longitudinally forward and laterally outwardly away from said first conveyor and said vertical side wall, said second conveyor being transversely inclined and angled upward forming an elevated outer longitudinal edge; and a third conveyor adjacent said second conveyor for conveying articles forward, wherein the low friction conveying surface of the second conveyor is angled vertically at a selected angle from the first conveyor providing an inclined plane extending upward from below the outside longitudinal edge of the first conveyor upward toward the third conveyor whereby articles are removed laterally as they move forward progressing on a somewhat inclined plane, and the second conveyor includes forward and lateral forces away from the first conveyor and upward toward the third conveyor, characterized in that said third conveyor has a high friction surface, said high friction surface having an inner longitudinal edge, the conveying surface of the second conveyor is below the elevation of the plane of the third conveyor where they mate along their longitudinal edges (40, 45) in a transition zone, and said second conveyor is angled upward in a range of from 5 to 25 degrees relative to a horizontal plane. at least three driven conveyors (3,4,5) arranged in an adjacent parallel configuration; a first conveyor having a high friction surface for conveying articles forward along a vertical side wall where incoming articles are positioned there along; a second conveyor having a low friction surface disposed adjacent said first conveyor at a lower elevation, said second conveyor comprising a series of driven rollers having rotary axes skewed relative to a longitudinal direction of travel so that the articles are conveyed simultaneously longitudinally forward and laterally outwardly away from said first conveyor and said vertical side wall, said second conveyor being transversely inclined and angled upward forming an elevated outer longitudinal edge; and a third conveyor adjacent said second conveyor for conveying articles forward, wherein the low friction conveying surface of the second conveyor is angled vertically at a selected angle from the first conveyor providing an inclined plane extending upward from below the outside longitudinal edge of the first conveyor upward toward the third conveyor whereby articles are removed laterally as they move forward progressing on a somewhat inclined plane, and the second conveyor includes forward and lateral forces away from the first conveyor and upward toward the third conveyor, characterized in that said third conveyor has a high friction surface, said high friction surface having an inner longitudinal edge, the conveying surface of the second conveyor is below the elevation of the plane of the third conveyor where they mate along their longitudinal edges (40, 45) in a transition zone, and said second conveyor is angled upward in a range of from 5 to 25 degrees relative to a horizontal plane.
