Incline Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Elevating bulk food products from one processing stage to another.
• Feeding packaging machinery with ingredients or finished goods.
• Transferring items over short vertical distances within a production line.
• Moving products out of washdown areas or into hoppers.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can range from hundreds of kilograms to several tonnes per hour, depending on belt width and speed.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, a 3-phase industrial electrical supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) is typically required for the motor.

Incline angle

Typically, incline conveyors are designed with angles between 15 and 45 degrees, optimised for product stability and elevation.

Belt material

Food-grade belting, such as PVC, PU, or modular plastic, is standard for hygiene and durability in food processing environments.

Construction material

Frames are commonly constructed from stainless steel for corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning, particularly in washdown applications.

Footprint

The footprint varies significantly with length and incline, but buyers should consider the linear space required for the base and the vertical clearance.
