A conveyor system which has a continuous path conveyor is to be used for transporting and accumulating excessive loads. The conveyor may be formed of a continuous loop of chain elements. The conveyor path consists of two or more product carrying sections and corresponding offset return path sections. A product carrying section of the conveyor wraps around power driven sprockets where it is fed into and becomes a return path section. From there the path is guided over and aligned with free turning tail sprockets, where it is returned as a product carrying section. This section is then fed onto second drive sprockets, powered by another power means, where it again becomes a return path section, guided over tail sprockets and returned as a product carrying section. In this manner, the load of the conveyor chain is relieved at each drive sprocket assembly, thereby increasing the available working distance of the system.
