Affeldt Incline Conveyor

• Transporting bulk goods or packaged products between different floor levels or processing stages.
• Feeding packaging machinery or filling lines from an elevated hopper or storage unit.
• Moving products over obstacles within a production facility layout.
• Integrating into automated production lines requiring elevation changes for product flow.

Typical incline angle

Commonly between 20 to 45 degrees, depending on the product and belt type.

Belt width

Typically ranges from 300mm to 800mm for this class of equipment, influencing throughput.

Throughput

Variable based on belt speed, width, and product characteristics; buyers should consult the seller for specific unit performance.

Power supply

Typically 3-phase industrial power, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Construction material

Often stainless steel for food processing or mild steel for general industrial applications.

Suitable feed sizes

Depends on the belt type (e.g., cleated, flat) and width; suitable for a range of small to medium-sized items.

• What types of products can an incline conveyor handle?

  Incline conveyors can handle a wide variety of products, from loose bulk materials like grains or powders to packaged goods, depending on the belt material and cleat configuration.

• What maintenance is typically required for an incline conveyor?

• How do I determine the correct incline angle for my application?

• Can this conveyor be integrated into an existing production line?

• What safety features are commonly found on incline conveyors?

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.
