Typical belt width

For this class of equipment, belt widths commonly range from 300mm to 800mm, with this unit featuring a 500mm belt.

Flight dimensions

Units of this type typically feature flights designed to prevent rollback, with this specific unit having 35cm wide and 3cm high flights.

Incline angle

Swan neck conveyors commonly offer adjustable or fixed incline angles, typically between 30 and 60 degrees, depending on the material being conveyed.

Power supply

Most industrial incline conveyors operate on standard three-phase electrical supplies, commonly 400V, 50Hz, though single-phase options exist for lighter duties.

Throughput

Throughput capacity is highly variable, depending on belt speed, incline angle, and material density, but units of this size are typically suited for continuous flow applications.

Construction materials

Frames are commonly constructed from mild steel or stainless steel, with belts typically made from food-grade PVC or PU for hygiene-sensitive applications.
