Carerra - Incline Conveyor - Carerra

• Elevating products between different levels in a production line.
• Feeding packaging machinery or processing equipment from floor level.
• Transporting bulk materials upwards for storage or further processing.
• Integrating into automated systems for continuous product flow.

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment commonly ranges from 500 kg/hr to 5,000 kg/hr, depending on product density and belt speed.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on 230V single-phase or 400V three-phase industrial power, commonly with a 50Hz frequency in the UK.

Belt width

Common belt widths for incline conveyors are between 300mm and 800mm, influencing the maximum product size and throughput.

Incline angle

Typical incline angles range from 20 to 45 degrees, often with cleats or a high-friction belt to prevent product rollback.

Construction material

Frames are commonly constructed from mild steel (painted or powder-coated) or stainless steel, suitable for various industrial environments.

Footprint

The footprint is dependent on the overall length and height of elevation, requiring sufficient floor space for both the incline and horizontal sections.

• What types of products can an incline conveyor handle?

  Incline conveyors are suitable for a wide range of products, including packaged goods, components, raw materials, and some loose bulk items, provided the belt type and cleats are appropriate.

• Are spare parts readily available for 'Unknown' manufacturer conveyors?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used incline conveyor?

• Can the speed of the conveyor be adjusted?

• What safety features should I look for?

Buyers typically value conveyor systems for their reliability and longevity when well-maintained. Key considerations when purchasing used units include belt condition, motor functionality, frame integrity, and available spare parts. Industry sentiment emphasises the importance of verifying operational history and cleanliness standards, particularly for food handling applications. Common strengths include robust construction, relatively straightforward maintenance requirements, and cost savings versus new equipment. Reputable manufacturers' models tend to hold their value well and integrate readily into existing production lines.
