End Incline Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Elevating products from one processing stage to a higher one, such as from a mixer to a filler.
• Transferring bulk ingredients or finished goods into packaging machinery or storage hoppers.
• Moving items over obstacles or across different floor levels within a production facility.
• Feeding inspection systems or sorting equipment where a change in elevation is required.
• Loading or unloading containers and vehicles where a gentle incline is beneficial.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment commonly ranges from 500 kg/hr to several tonnes/hr, depending on belt width and product density.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on 3-phase industrial power, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with motor sizes varying from 0.37 kW to 2.2 kW.

Belt material

Commonly food-grade PVC, PU, or modular plastic belting, selected based on product contact and hygiene requirements.

Incline angle

Typically adjustable or fixed between 15 and 45 degrees, often featuring flights or cleats to prevent product rollback.

Construction material

Frames are commonly stainless steel (304 or 316 grade) for food processing environments, or painted mild steel for less demanding applications.

Footprint

The overall length and height will depend on the desired elevation change and incline angle, requiring sufficient floor space for the base and discharge.
