Affeldt Incline Conveyor

• Transporting bulk materials upwards between processing stages.
• Feeding packaging machinery from a lower elevation.
• Moving products over short to medium distances in a production line.
• Integrating with other processing equipment to create a continuous flow system.

Typical capacity

Varies significantly based on belt width, incline angle, and product density; commonly designed for continuous throughput of several tonnes per hour for this class of equipment.

Power supply

Typically 3-phase industrial power, such as 400V, 50Hz, commonly found on units of this type.

Belt material

Commonly food-grade PVC or PU, suitable for various product types, or rubber for more abrasive materials.

Incline angle

Units like the AVN/771 are designed for a fixed or adjustable incline, typically ranging from 20 to 45 degrees, depending on the product and application.

Footprint

Dependent on the overall length and height; buyers should consider the space required for the incline and any associated feeding or discharge points.

Frame construction

Typically stainless steel for hygiene-sensitive applications or painted mild steel for general industrial use.

• What types of products can this conveyor handle?

  Incline conveyors are generally suitable for a wide range of bulk products, including powders, granules, small components, and packaged goods, provided the belt type and cleat configuration are appropriate.

• Is this unit suitable for food processing environments?

• What maintenance is typically required for an incline conveyor?

• Can the speed of the conveyor be adjusted?

• How is product spillage prevented on an 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.
