Carnitech Incline Conveyor

• Transporting food products, such as fish, poultry, or vegetables, between processing stages.
• Moving bulk ingredients or finished goods from ground level to elevated packaging or inspection machinery.
• Integrating into automated processing lines requiring changes in elevation for product flow.
• Handling wet or washdown environments, common in food processing, due to stainless steel construction.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on belt speed and product density, commonly ranging from 500 kg/hr to several tonnes/hr for this class of equipment.

Power supply

Typically requires a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with a motor power in the range of 0.37 kW to 1.5 kW.

Belt material

Intralox modular plastic belts are commonly used, offering durability and ease of cleaning, especially with flights for incline applications.

Frame material

Stainless steel construction is standard for food processing environments, ensuring hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Incline angle

Commonly adjustable or fixed between 20 and 45 degrees, depending on product characteristics and desired elevation change.

Cleaning features

Units of this type often include integrated spray bars for efficient washdown and sanitation.

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

  These conveyors are well-suited for a wide range of products, particularly those that are loose, granular, or small, and require elevation change without spillage. The flights on the belt help prevent product rollback.

• How difficult is it to integrate this conveyor into an existing line?

• What maintenance is typically required for an incline conveyor?

• Are spare parts readily available for Intralox belts?

• What are the benefits of a stainless steel frame?

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.
