Incline Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Moving raw ingredients or finished products between different processing stages.
• Elevating items to hoppers, mixers, or packaging machinery.
• Transporting goods over obstacles or changes in floor level within a facility.
• Feeding product into weighing or inspection systems.
• Loading bulk materials into storage containers or vehicles.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Throughput for incline conveyors of this class typically ranges from hundreds of kilograms to several tonnes per hour, depending on belt width and speed.

Power supply

Units commonly operate on standard industrial power supplies, typically 3-phase 400V, 50Hz, with smaller units potentially using single-phase 230V.

Incline angle

The incline angle for food processing applications is typically between 20 and 45 degrees, often featuring cleats or textured belts to prevent product rollback.

Belt material

Belts are commonly made from food-grade materials such as PVC, PU, or modular plastic, selected for hygiene and resistance to specific products.

Frame material

Frames are typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance in food environments, though painted mild steel may be found in less demanding areas.

Footprint

The footprint varies significantly based on length, width, and incline angle, requiring buyers to consider available floor space and ceiling height.
