There is a small but significant difference of an item in model and in conveyor module. A conveyor item keeps only the orientation in the conveyor system. You can make this persistent by a rotation of the item eg. in a trigger. But when the item enters a conveyor again the rotation of the conveyor item is applied again. If you transform the x and y size of the item instead, then this looks like a rotation. But the item rotation values are the same, when the item enters a conveyor again.

You can also use the entry transfer to set the orientation, but this is no good for mixed orientation items.
