Incline Conveyor Stainless Steel

• Transporting bulk food products upwards to processing machinery or packaging lines.
• Feeding multihead weighers or filling machines with consistent product flow.
• Moving ingredients between different stages of a food production process.
• Handling granular, diced, or small solid food items in a controlled manner.

Typical throughput

Variable, commonly ranging from 500 kg/hr to several tonnes/hr depending on belt width and speed.

Power supply

Typically 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz, common for industrial food processing equipment in the UK.

Construction material

Stainless steel is standard for food contact areas, ensuring hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Incline angle

Commonly adjustable or fixed between 30 to 45 degrees, suitable for elevating products efficiently.

Control system

Often includes a PLC for integrated system control, allowing for speed adjustment and synchronisation with other equipment.

Maintenance requirements

Regular cleaning, belt tension checks, and lubrication of bearings are typically required.
