Incline Conveyor Belt

Applications & Use Cases

• Moving bulk food products from one processing stage to a higher one.
• Loading ingredients into mixers, hoppers, or packaging machinery.
• Transferring finished products onto inspection or packing lines.
• Elevating waste products for disposal or further processing.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

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

Power supply

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

Belt material

Belts are typically food-grade PVC, PU, or rubber, selected for durability and hygiene in food environments.

Incline angle

Incline angles commonly range from 15 to 45 degrees, often featuring flights or cleats to prevent product rollback.

Construction material

Frames are typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance in food processing settings.

Footprint

The footprint varies significantly based on length, width, and incline, requiring buyers to consider available floor space and ceiling height.
