PA.MA - 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 inspection systems or sorting lines with a steady product flow.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from hundreds of kilograms to several tonnes per hour, depending on belt width and incline angle.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type are 230V single-phase or 400V three-phase electrical supplies, with motor power typically between 0.37 kW and 2.2 kW.

Belt material

Belts are typically food-grade PVC, PU, or modular plastic, chosen for hygiene and resistance to oils or specific food products.

Frame material

Frames are commonly constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance in food processing environments.

Incline angle

Incline angles typically range from 15 to 45 degrees, often featuring flights or cleats to prevent product rollback.

Footprint

The footprint varies significantly based on length, width, and incline, but buyers should consider the overall length required for the desired elevation.
