Incline Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Transporting products between different floor levels or processing stages.
• Feeding bulk materials into hoppers, mixers, or packaging machinery.
• Moving items over obstacles or across production line gaps.
• Loading and unloading goods from vehicles or storage systems.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Varies significantly based on belt width, speed, and incline angle, but commonly ranges from 50 kg/hr to several tonnes/hr for this class of equipment.

Power supply

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

Belt material

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

Incline angle

Typically adjustable or fixed between 15 and 45 degrees, depending on the product and application.

Footprint

Dependent on length, width, and incline; buyers should consider the overall linear space required for the conveyor and its support structure.

Throughput speed

Commonly adjustable, ranging from a few metres per minute up to 30 metres per minute or more, depending on the drive system and application.
