Abstract: A high-angle conveyor system is provided. The high-angle conveyor system includes a primary conventional conveyor, a lower high-angle conveyor and an upper high-angle conveyor. The lower high-angle conveyor is disposed within the primary conveyor. Therefore, a portion of the primary conveyor is sandwiched in between the lower high-angle conveyor and the upper high-angle conveyor. Both of the lower high-angle conveyor and the upper high-angle conveyor are disposed at a high angle. Material is transported along the primary conveyor and then transported at a high angle in between the lower high-angle conveyor, the primary conveyor, and the upper high-angle conveyor.
