Incline Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Moving bulk ingredients or finished products between different processing levels.
• Feeding packaging machinery or hoppers from floor level.
• Elevating products for inspection or sorting stations.
• Transferring materials over short to medium distances within a production line.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment commonly ranges from 500 kg/hr to several tonnes/hr, depending on belt width and incline angle.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with motor power varying based on load and length.

Belt material

Belts are commonly food-grade PVC, PU, or modular plastic, selected based on product contact and hygiene requirements.

Incline angle

Typical incline angles range from 15 to 45 degrees, often featuring flights or grippers to prevent product rollback.

Footprint

The footprint will vary significantly with length and height, but buyers should consider the required floor space for the base and discharge point.

Construction material

Frames are commonly stainless steel for food processing environments, ensuring durability and ease of cleaning.
