Unknown - Flighted Incline Conveyor

• Elevating bulk materials such as grains, powders, or small components between processing stages.
• Feeding packaging machinery or hoppers from floor level.
• Transporting products upwards in food processing lines, maintaining product separation.
• Moving waste products or by-products to collection bins or further processing.

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from 500 kg/hr to several tonnes/hr, depending on belt width, flight design, and incline angle.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type is a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with motor sizes varying from 0.37kW to 2.2kW.

Incline angle

Units of this type typically operate at incline angles between 20 and 45 degrees, optimised for material retention by the flights.

Belt width

Belt widths commonly range from 300mm to 800mm, influencing the volume of material that can be conveyed.

Construction material

Frames are typically constructed from mild steel or stainless steel, with stainless steel being prevalent in food processing applications.

Flight height and pitch

Flight heights and spacing (pitch) are designed to suit the specific product being conveyed, preventing rollback and ensuring consistent flow.

• What types of products are best suited for a flighted incline conveyor?

  Flighted incline conveyors are ideal for loose, granular, or small bulk products that require elevation without rolling back, such as cereals, nuts, plastic pellets, or small components.

• How do I determine the correct belt type and flight configuration?

• What maintenance is typically required for this equipment?

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

• What safety features should I look for?

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.
