A buffer conveyor ( 12 ) for conveying conformable work products ( 66 ) includes a collapsible conveyor belt ( 13 ) having an infeed section ( 14 ), a collapsible intermediate section ( 16 ) and an outfeed section ( 18 ). The infeed section ( 14 ) may be driven at a non-continuous speed, and the outfeed section may also be driven at a uniform, or non-continuous, speed, but the average speed of both the infeed and outfeed sections is the same. The intermediate section of the conveyor is driven at a non-uniform speed that is slower than, but proportional to, the speed of the infeed section.
