A conveyor elevator system having an endless conveyor belt in which guide rollers are provided to contact and guide the side edges of the belt to prevent lateral shifting thereof. A discharge plate is provided at the lower end of the vertically upwardly moving reach of the conveyor belt for receiving particulate material that escapes from the upwardly moving reach of the belt and falls downwardly. The discharge plates guide the escaped material into the carrier plate passage so that the escaped material is recycled. The skirt plates that define the sides of the carrier plate passage having seal elements that cooperate with projecting elements on the conveyor belt to form a labyrinth passage to reduce the amount of material that escapes.
