Compac - Incline Roller Conveyor

• Moving products between different processing stages where elevation changes are required.
• Loading or unloading bulk ingredients or finished products from hoppers or packaging lines.
• Integrating with other conveyor systems to create a continuous material flow.
• Transporting items over obstacles or across varying floor levels within a facility.

Typical throughput

Throughput for incline roller conveyors of this type typically depends on product size, weight, and the chosen belt speed, often ranging from several hundred to thousands of items per hour.

Power supply

Units in this class commonly operate on standard industrial single-phase or three-phase electrical supplies, typically 230V or 400V, 50Hz.

Construction material

For food processing applications, these conveyors are typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance, with food-grade rollers and belts.

Incline angle

The incline angle for units like the Compac RIC is typically fixed or adjustable within a practical range, designed to prevent product rollback while achieving elevation changes.

Roller type

Rollers are commonly made from durable, food-safe plastics or stainless steel, chosen to suit the product being conveyed and ease of cleaning.

Footprint considerations

The overall length and width are crucial for facility integration, with units of this type requiring sufficient space for both the incline and any associated entry/exit points.

• What types of products are suitable for an incline roller conveyor?

  Incline roller conveyors are generally suitable for conveying rigid or semi-rigid items with a stable base, such as crates, boxes, trays, or packaged goods. Their suitability depends on the roller spacing and surface.

• Can the speed of the conveyor be adjusted?

• What maintenance is typically required for this type of conveyor?

• Is this conveyor suitable for washdown environments?

• How is the product prevented from slipping or rolling back on the incline?

Buyers typically value conveyor systems for their reliability and longevity when well-maintained. Key considerations when purchasing used units include belt condition, motor functionality, frame integrity, and available spare parts. Industry sentiment emphasises the importance of verifying operational history and cleanliness standards, particularly for food handling applications. Common strengths include robust construction, relatively straightforward maintenance requirements, and cost savings versus new equipment. Reputable manufacturers' models tend to hold their value well and integrate readily into existing production lines.
