PA.MA - Incline Conveyor

• Transporting products between different floor levels or to elevated processing equipment.
• Feeding packaging machinery or inspection systems from a lower bulk supply.
• Moving materials over obstacles on the production floor.
• Loading hoppers or bins from ground level.

Typical capacity

Varies significantly by belt width and motor power, typically ranging from 50 kg/hr to several tonnes/hr for this class of equipment.

Power supply

Commonly 230V single-phase or 400V three-phase, 50Hz, with motor power typically between 0.18 kW and 1.5 kW.

Belt material

Often PVC, PU, or rubber, selected based on product type and operating environment.

Frame material

Typically mild steel (painted or powder-coated) or stainless steel for food-grade applications.

Incline angle

Commonly adjustable or fixed between 15 and 45 degrees, depending on product stability and grip requirements.

Throughput

Dependent on belt speed, width, and product density; typically measured in items per minute or kg per hour.

Footprint

Length can range from 2m to over 10m, with widths typically between 300mm and 1000mm, plus motor housing.

• What types of products can an incline conveyor handle?

  Incline conveyors are suitable for a wide range of products including loose bulk materials, packaged goods, components, and food items, provided the product can maintain stability on the incline.

• How is the incline angle typically adjusted?

• What maintenance is typically required for an incline conveyor?

• Are spare parts readily available for used incline conveyors?

• What safety features should I look for on a used incline conveyor?

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.
