An improved belt tripper system for discharging particulate material from the upper run of an endless conveyor belt includes a belt tripper having a frame which is supported upon a pair of parallel guide rails and which is adapted to be guided along the guide rails in the event that the guide rails have a curved section along the length thereof. The frame may be segmented or wheeled, and the endless conveyor belt, which may be a track-following belt, is comprised substantially of elastomeric material and is adapted to flex laterally to accommodate the movement of the belt through a curve. In addition, guide rollers may be disposed at selected locations along the upper belt run to aid the maneuvering of the upper belt run through a curve.
