Absolutetly. You would then have separate SCSI buses, basically separate loops. Then the only other issue to be careful about would be software conflicts, though you can usually get around that. If either scanner needs to be initialized at start-up, like through an extension, that would be one potential conflict, even with separate SCSI buses. In other words, you would eliminate a hardware conflict, though potentially still have a software conflict. If you have the ability to only load the driver when needed, that is one work-around.
I have run such a set-up many times in the past. The worst case was several devices that did not like each other; though having them connected and not powered on solved some problems; each device only got powered on as needed.
