Incline Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Elevating bulk food products from one processing stage to another.
• Loading ingredients into mixers, hoppers, or packaging machinery.
• Transporting items over obstacles or between different floor levels.
• Feeding product into inspection systems or sorting lines.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Typically designed for throughputs ranging from 50 kg/hr to several tonnes/hr, depending on belt width and incline angle.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, a 3-phase 400V, 50Hz electrical supply is standard for motor operation.

Belt material

Typically food-grade PVC, PU, or modular plastic belting, selected for hygiene and product compatibility.

Incline angle

For this class of equipment, incline angles commonly range from 15 to 45 degrees, often with cleats or flights to prevent product rollback.

Frame material

Stainless steel construction is typical for food processing environments, ensuring durability and ease of cleaning.

Footprint

The footprint varies significantly based on belt length, width, and incline height, with customisation common.
