Incline Roller Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Moving products between different floor levels or to elevated processing stations.
• Integrating into automated production lines for continuous material flow.
• Loading and unloading operations where a height differential needs to be overcome.
• Transporting items over obstacles within a facility layout.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities typically range from light to medium duty, handling individual items up to approximately 50 kg.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, a 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz electrical supply is typical, though smaller units may use 230V single-phase.

Incline angle

Incline roller conveyors typically feature fixed or adjustable angles, commonly between 10 and 30 degrees, depending on the application and product stability.

Roller type

Rollers are typically made from steel, galvanised steel, or sometimes PVC for lighter duty or specific product handling requirements.

Throughput

Throughput rates are highly variable but are typically suited for continuous, moderate-speed material transfer.

Footprint

The footprint will vary significantly based on length and width, but buyers should consider the required incline and horizontal lead-in/lead-out sections.
