Incline Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Transporting products between different floor levels or to elevated processing machinery.
• Feeding packaging lines or filling machines from bulk hoppers.
• Moving raw materials or finished goods over obstacles within a production facility.
• Loading and unloading vehicles or storage containers where a height differential exists.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment commonly ranges from 50 kg/hr to several tonnes/hr, depending on belt width and motor power.

Power supply

Units of this type are typically powered by 3-phase electricity, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with smaller units potentially using single-phase.

Belt material

Common belt materials include PVC, PU, or rubber, selected based on the product being conveyed and application environment.

Incline angle

Incline conveyors typically operate at angles between 15 and 45 degrees, often featuring cleats or flights to prevent product rollback.

Frame material

Frames are commonly constructed from mild steel (painted or powder-coated) or stainless steel for hygiene-critical applications.

Footprint

The footprint varies significantly with length, width, and incline angle, requiring site-specific measurement for integration.
