Incline Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Moving products between different floor levels or processing stages in a production line.
• Loading or unloading materials from bulk containers, hoppers, or packaging machinery.
• Integrating with sorting systems to elevate items for further processing or packaging.
• Transporting raw ingredients or finished goods in food processing and manufacturing facilities.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can range from a few items per minute to several tonnes per hour, depending on belt width and speed.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type are 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz electrical supplies, though smaller units may use 230V, single-phase.

Incline angle

Typically, incline conveyors offer angles between 15 and 45 degrees, optimised for product stability and efficient elevation.

Belt material

Common materials include PVC, PU, or rubber, selected based on the product being conveyed and environmental conditions.

Footprint

The footprint varies significantly with length, width, and incline angle, requiring buyers to consider available space.

Frame construction

Typically, frames are constructed from mild steel (painted or powder-coated) or stainless steel for hygiene-critical applications.
