Transfer apparatuses, systems, and methods

A transfer system comprising:

• a first conveyor configured to transport one or more objects in a first flow path aligned along the first conveyor;
• a second conveyor configured to transport the one or more objects in a second flow path aligned along the second conveyor;
• and
• a transfer apparatus configured to do one or more of:
• divert a first flow of the one or more objects from the first flow path of the first conveyor to the second flow path of the second conveyor, or
• divert a second flow of the one or more objects from the second flow path of the second conveyor to the first flow path of the first conveyor, wherein the transfer apparatus comprises:
• a bed comprising:
• a first plurality of balls, each ball of the first plurality of balls comprising a first diameter, wherein at least one ball of the first plurality of balls is configured to rotate relative to the bed;
• a second plurality of balls, each ball of the second plurality of balls comprising a second diameter, wherein at least one ball of the second plurality of balls is configured to rotate relative to the bed;
• a plurality of belts, wherein at least one belt of the plurality of belts is operably engaged with the at least one ball of the first plurality of balls or the at least one ball of the second plurality of balls;
• and
• a driver operably connected to the at least one belt of the plurality of belts, wherein the driver is configured to power the at least one belt of the plurality of belts;
• and
• a plurality of pulleys, wherein the plurality of pulleys comprises a mechanism configured to adjust a tension of the at least one belt such that the at least one belt moves between a first position and a second position, wherein, in the first position, the at least one belt is engaged with the at least one ball of the first plurality of balls, and wherein, in the second position, the at least one belt refrains from engagement with the at least one ball of the first plurality of balls.
