Incline Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Elevating bulk food products from one processing stage to another.
• Transferring ingredients or finished goods over obstacles or between different floor levels.
• Feeding packaging machinery with a consistent flow of product.
• Integrating into automated production lines for continuous material flow.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

Typically dependent on belt speed and product density, commonly ranging from hundreds of kilograms to several tonnes per hour for this class of equipment.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 3-phase electrical supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) for the motor, though smaller units may use single-phase.

Belt material

Typically food-grade PVC, PU, or modular plastic belting, selected for hygiene and product compatibility.

Frame material

Commonly stainless steel for food contact areas and washdown environments, or painted mild steel for less demanding applications.

Incline angle

Typically adjustable or fixed, commonly between 15 and 45 degrees, depending on the product and cleat configuration.

Maintenance requirements

Routine checks typically include belt tension, motor and gearbox lubrication, and general cleanliness, especially in food processing environments.
