The lower branch of the chain-valve conveyor has an inclined section, under which a belt conveyor is installed with an inclination, the angle of inclination of which is less than the angle of inclination of the inclined section of the chain-valve conveyor. Each valve of the chain-valve conveyor is made of elastic resilient material and consists of two adjacent halves attached with one side to the transverse bar of the chain traction contours of the conveyor, and the other three sides of each of the valve halves are free.
