Piler Conveyor System

A piler conveyor system, comprising:

• a frame including an inlet end, an outlet end, an upper end, and a lower end, wherein the frame is angled upwardly from the inlet end to the outlet end;
• an upper conveyor comprising a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the upper conveyor is connected near the inlet end of the frame, wherein the upper conveyor is adapted to receive a plurality of materials to be conveyed, wherein the upper conveyor comprises a plurality of screening openings through which a debris from the plurality of materials may fall;
• a first lower conveyor connected to the frame beneath the upper conveyor;
• a second lower conveyor connected to the frame beneath the upper conveyor, wherein the first lower conveyor and the second lower conveyor are distally spaced so as to define a debris opening between the first lower conveyor and the second lower conveyor, wherein the first lower conveyor is comprised of a solid structure that moves upwardly in the first direction toward the outlet end of the frame, wherein the first lower conveyor and the second lower conveyor are each adapted to convey the debris in a first direction toward the outlet end of the frame;
• wherein the upper conveyor is positioned over the first lower conveyor such that the debris from the materials may fall through the screening openings and onto the first lower conveyor, wherein the first lower conveyor is adapted to convey the debris to be dispensed at a first location through the debris opening;
• and
• wherein the second end of the upper conveyor is positioned over the second lower conveyor such that the plurality of materials may fall from the second end of the upper conveyor onto the second lower conveyor to be dispensed at a second location.

A method of conveying materials in a piler system, comprising the steps of:

• transferring the materials onto an upper conveyor, the upper conveyor comprising a plurality of screening openings;
• conveying the materials with the upper conveyor such that a debris from the materials falls through the screening openings;
• transferring the debris through the screening openings onto a first lower conveyor, the first lower conveyor being positioned underneath the upper conveyor;
• conveying the debris upwardly in a first direction to a debris opening by the first lower conveyor;
• dispensing the debris at a first location through the debris opening by the first lower conveyor;
• transferring the materials from the upper conveyor to a second lower conveyor, the second lower conveyor being positioned underneath the upper conveyor;
• and
• conveying the materials upwardly in the first direction to be dispensed at a second location by the second lower conveyor.
