Incline Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Used for elevating products between different levels in a production line.
• Commonly integrated into packaging lines to feed products into filling or sealing machinery.
• Utilised in food processing for gentle transfer of delicate items, reducing product damage.
• Applied in warehousing and logistics for moving goods from ground level to mezzanines or loading docks.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from 500 kg/hr to 5,000 kg/hr, depending on belt width and incline angle.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with motor power generally between 0.37 kW and 2.2 kW.

Belt width

Typically available with belt widths ranging from 300mm to 800mm, influencing the maximum product size and throughput.

Incline angle

Units of this type commonly feature fixed or adjustable incline angles, typically between 15 and 45 degrees, often with cleats or grip surfaces to prevent product rollback.

Construction material

Frames are typically constructed from mild steel (painted or powder-coated) or stainless steel for hygiene-critical applications. Belts are commonly PVC, PU, or modular plastic.

Footprint

The footprint varies significantly with length and incline, but buyers should consider the required floor space for both the conveyor and access for operation and maintenance.
