Incline Conveyor Belt

Applications & Use Cases

• Moving products between different floor levels or into elevated processing machinery.
• Loading bulk materials into hoppers, silos, or packaging machines.
• Transporting items over obstacles on a production line.
• Integrating with washing, drying, or sorting systems where elevation is required.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Capacity for this class of equipment typically ranges from a few kilograms to several tonnes per hour, depending on belt width, speed, and incline angle.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, power supply is typically 3-phase industrial electricity (e.g., 400V, 50Hz in the UK) for the drive motor, though smaller units may be single-phase.

Belt material

Belt materials commonly include PVC, PU, or rubber, chosen based on the product being conveyed and environmental conditions.

Incline angle

Incline angles typically vary from 15 to 45 degrees, often featuring cleats or flights to prevent product rollback on steeper slopes.

Frame material

Frame construction is commonly mild steel (painted or powder-coated) or stainless steel for food-grade or corrosive environments.

Footprint

The footprint depends on the length and width of the conveyor, as well as the height of the incline, requiring adequate space for installation and access.
