A conveyor system (25) for accepting one or more streams of product input and converting the one or more streams to a format that is suitable for automatic loading to a subsequent machine (35) is disclosed. The conveyor system (25) comprises an input level shifting conveyor (45) disposed to receive the one or more product input streams. The level shifting conveyor (45) is movable between a first upper level position and second lower level position. An upper level strip conveyor (50) is disposed to receive product from the input level shifting conveyor (45) when the input level shifting conveyor (45) is moved to the first upper level position. The upper level strip conveyor (50) includes an output end that is in a fixed position during formatting to direct product received by the upper level strip conveyor (50) to a first lateral alignment position of the format. A lower level strip conveyor (55) is disposed to receive product from the level shifting conveyor (45) when the level shifting conveyor (45) is moved to the second lower level position. The lower level strip conveyor (55) includes an output end that is in a fixed position during formatting to direct product received by the lower level strip conveyor (55) to a second lateral alignment position of the format.
