Incline Conveyor Belt

Applications & Use Cases

• Moving products between different floor levels or to elevated processing equipment.
• Loading bulk materials into hoppers, silos, or packaging machinery.
• Transporting items over obstacles or across production line gaps.
• Feeding sorting systems or inspection stations at an ergonomic height.
• Handling waste products or recycling materials in a continuous flow.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

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

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type are 400V, 3-phase power supplies, though smaller units may use 230V, 1-phase.

Belt material

Belts are typically made from PVC, PU, or rubber, selected based on the material being conveyed and environmental conditions.

Incline angle

Typical incline angles range from 15 to 45 degrees, often featuring cleats or grip surfaces to prevent product rollback.

Footprint

The footprint is highly variable, depending on the length, width, and incline angle required for the application.

Frame construction

Frames are commonly constructed from mild steel (painted or powder-coated) or stainless steel for hygiene-critical applications.

Speed control

Many units feature variable speed drives to adjust throughput according to production demands.
