ETN Incline Conveyor

• Moving products between different floor levels or processing stages in a factory.
• Feeding packaging machinery or automated assembly lines from a lower bulk supply.
• Elevating raw materials or finished goods for loading onto transport or into storage.
• Integrating into existing production lines to bridge gaps or change product elevation.

Typical capacity

Varies significantly based on belt width, speed, and incline angle; typically designed for continuous flow of items up to 20-30 kg per metre.

Power supply

Commonly 3-phase industrial power, such as 400V/50Hz, though smaller units may be single-phase.

Belt material

Typically PVC, PU, or rubber, selected based on product type, temperature, and hygiene requirements.

Incline angle

Typically adjustable or fixed between 15 and 45 degrees, depending on the product's stability and friction characteristics.

Footprint

Dependent on length, width, and incline angle; buyers should consider the required floor space for both the base and elevated sections.

Throughput

Determined by belt speed and product size/spacing; commonly designed for continuous operation at speeds from 0.1 to 1.0 m/s.

Frame material

Typically mild steel (painted or powder-coated) or stainless steel for hygiene-sensitive applications.

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

  Incline conveyors are suitable for a wide range of products, including packaged goods, components, bulk materials, and food items, provided they can maintain stability on the incline.

• How do I determine the correct incline angle?

• What maintenance is typically required for an incline conveyor?

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

• Are there different types of belts for 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.
