Incline Conveyor Belt

Applications & Use Cases

• Moving products between different floor levels or to elevated processing equipment.
• Loading bulk materials into hoppers, mixers, or storage silos.
• Transporting packaged goods from production lines to packing or palletising stations.
• Feeding raw ingredients or components into manufacturing processes.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

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

Power supply

Commonly 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz for industrial applications in the UK, though smaller units may be 230V, single-phase.

Belt material

Typically PVC, PU, or rubber, selected based on product type and environmental conditions (e.g., oil resistance, food-grade).

Incline angle

Commonly between 15 and 35 degrees; steeper angles often require cleats or high-friction belt surfaces to prevent product rollback.

Frame material

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

Footprint

Varies significantly with length, width, and incline angle; buyers should consider available floor space and head height.
