Compac - Incline Roller Conveyor

• Transporting produce upwards between processing stages, such as from a washer to a sorting table.
• Elevating packaged goods for transfer to packing lines or palletising stations.
• Moving bulk ingredients like grains or vegetables from floor level hoppers to elevated mixers.
• Integrating into automated lines to change elevation for ergonomic or process flow requirements.

Typical capacity

Throughput for incline roller conveyors of this type typically ranges from 500 kg/hour to several tonnes/hour, depending on product density and belt width.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 400V, 3-phase electrical supply, though smaller units might operate on 230V, 1-phase.

Incline angle

Units of this class typically feature adjustable or fixed incline angles, commonly between 15 and 35 degrees, suitable for various product types.

Conveyor belt material

For food processing, belts are typically made from food-grade PVC, PU, or modular plastic, offering hygiene and durability.

Frame construction

Frames are commonly constructed from stainless steel (grade 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance in food environments.

Suitable product types

This equipment is typically suitable for conveying a wide range of solid or packaged food items, including fruits, vegetables, meat products, and boxed goods.

• What maintenance is typically required for an incline roller conveyor?

  Routine maintenance commonly involves checking belt tension and alignment, lubricating bearings, and inspecting rollers and motors for wear. Regular cleaning, especially in food processing, is also essential.

• Can this conveyor handle wet products?

• Is this unit suitable for integration into an existing production line?

• What safety features are commonly found on these conveyors?

• How does an incline roller conveyor differ from an incline belt conveyor?

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.
