Incline Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Transporting products between different floor levels or processing stages.
• Feeding packaging machinery or hoppers from a lower elevation.
• Moving bulk materials such as grains, powders, or small components.
• Integrating into automated production lines for continuous material flow.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Varies significantly based on belt width and incline angle, but commonly handles several hundred kilograms per hour for this class of equipment.

Power supply

Typically 230V single-phase or 400V three-phase, 50Hz, depending on motor size and application.

Incline angle

Commonly ranges from 15 to 45 degrees, often with cleats or grip surfaces to prevent product rollback.

Belt material

Often PVC, PU, or rubber, selected based on product type, temperature, and hygiene requirements.

Footprint

Dependent on length and height, but typically requires a linear space plus an area for the motor and drive system.

Throughput

Influenced by belt speed and product density; commonly designed for continuous operation.
