Flighted Incline Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• 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 Specifications

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.
