Incline Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Moving bulk food products from one processing stage to a higher one.
• Feeding packaging machinery with ingredients or finished products.
• Transferring items over obstacles on a production line.
• Loading hoppers or storage bins with raw or processed food materials.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment commonly ranges from 500 kg/hr to several tonnes/hr, depending on belt width and incline angle.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz electrical supply, though smaller units may be 230V single-phase.

Belt material

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

Frame material

Typically constructed from stainless steel for food contact areas and washdown environments, or painted mild steel for less stringent applications.

Incline angle

For this class of equipment, incline angles commonly range from 15 to 45 degrees, often featuring cleats or flights to prevent product rollback.

Footprint

The footprint varies significantly based on height requirement and incline angle, typically requiring several metres in length.
