Incline Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

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

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Varies significantly, but for this class of equipment, throughput can range from a few hundred kg/hour to several tonnes/hour, depending on belt width and speed.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, a 3-phase industrial electrical supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) is typically required for the motor.

Incline angle

Typically adjustable or fixed, ranging from 15 to 45 degrees, often with cleats or grip belts to prevent product rollback.

Belt material

Commonly PVC, PU, or rubber, selected based on the product being conveyed and application requirements (e.g., food-grade, oil-resistant).

Frame material

Typically constructed from mild steel (painted or powder-coated) or stainless steel for hygiene-sensitive environments.

Footprint

Dependent on the length and height of the incline; buyers should consider the available floor space and ceiling height.
