The assembly includes a first end roller unit with a roller having an axis of rotation at an angel with respect to the horizontal, and a middle roller unit with a roller having an axis of rotation that is horizontal. The assembly further includes a second end roller having a roller that can be raised at one end to have an axis of rotation at an angle with respect to the horizontal, and lowered to have an axis of rotation that is horizontal. In the lowered position, the second end roller unit can be slid out from under a conveyor belt of the system through the first side.
