Claim:
A conveyor assembly ( 26 ) comprising: a first frame ( 50 ) supporting a first conveyor ( 28 ) for feeding material in a first conveying direction; a second frame ( 60 ) supporting a second conveyor ( 30 ) for feeding material in a second conveying direction parallel to the first conveying direction, the second frame ( 60 ) being movable with respect to the first frame ( 50 ) along the second conveying direction between a retracted position and an extended position; a side shield ( 70 ) connected to a side of the second frame, wherein the side shield ( 70 ) shields the second conveyor ( 30 ) laterally; and an elongate, flexible seal ( 94 ) mounted to the side shield ( 70 ), wherein the flexible seal ( 94 ) bridges a gap between the side shield ( 70 ) and the second frame ( 60 ), wherein the flexible seal ( 94 ) comprises a proximal part in a first position spaced from the second frame ( 60 ) and a distal part in a second position abutting the second frame ( 60 ), wherein the proximal part of the flexible seal ( 94 ) extends over a part of a length of the first frame ( 50 ) and the distal part of the flexible seal ( 94 ) extends over a part of a length of the second frame ( 60 ) projecting beyond the first frame ( 50 ).
