Incline Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Moving bulk food ingredients from floor level to processing machinery.
• Elevating packaged food products for further processing or packaging.
• Transferring waste materials from production lines into collection bins.
• Integrating into automated food production lines for continuous material flow.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

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

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type are 400V, 3-phase electrical supplies, though smaller units may use 230V, 1-phase.

Belt material

Belts are typically food-grade PVC, PU, or modular plastic, selected for hygiene and durability in food environments.

Frame material

Frames are commonly constructed from stainless steel for corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning, essential for food processing.

Incline angle

Incline angles typically range from 15 to 45 degrees, often featuring flights or cleats to prevent product rollback.

Footprint

The footprint varies significantly with length and height, but buyers should consider the overall length required for the desired elevation.
