Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from hundreds of kilograms to several tonnes per hour, depending on belt width and speed.

Power supply

Commonly found units operate on 400V, 3-phase power, though smaller models may use 230V single-phase.

Belt material

Belts are typically food-grade PVC, PU, or modular plastic, selected for hygiene and durability.

Frame material

Frames are commonly constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance in food environments.

Incline angle

Units of this type typically offer adjustable incline angles, often up to 30-45 degrees, depending on the product being conveyed.

Footprint

The footprint varies significantly with length and width, but buyers should consider the space required for both the conveyor and access for cleaning/maintenance.

Adjustable features

Many incline conveyors feature adjustable discharge heights and variable speed control for operational flexibility.
