FIELD: transportation.

SUBSTANCE: multidirectional roller assembly is designed to guide the product in the transport system. The multidirectional roller assembly has a rotatably movable roller frame accommodating a set of two parallel mutually driving rollers, each of which is rotatable about a secondary axis located across the main axis in the opposite direction from the other roller in the set. The multidirectional roller assembly guides the product supported by the assembly along a path defined by the orientation of the multidirectional roller assembly relative to the input force. The orientation of the multidirectional roller assembly can be changed to change the path. The transport system may comprise a plurality of multidirectional roller assemblies. The actuator controls the orientation of the multidirectional roller assemblies separately, and can also control a plurality of multidirectional roller assemblies in the form of a group.

EFFECT: improved sorting, leveling, maneuvering, turning and other similar operations when transporting products.
