Incline Roller Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Moving products between different floor levels or to elevated processing equipment.
• Loading and unloading vehicles where a height differential exists.
• Integrating with packaging lines to transport items to sealing or palletising stations.
• Feeding raw materials into hoppers or other processing machinery.

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, these units operate on a 400V, 3-phase electrical supply, though smaller or older units may use 230V single-phase.

Incline angle

Typically, incline roller conveyors are designed for angles between 10 and 30 degrees, depending on the product stability and grip.

Roller material

Rollers are commonly made from steel, galvanised steel, or PVC, chosen based on the product type and environment.

Frame material

The frame is typically constructed from mild steel (painted or powder-coated) or stainless steel for food-grade or corrosive environments.

Throughput

Throughput for this type of conveyor is typically determined by the belt speed and the size/spacing of items, often ranging from 10 to 60 items per minute.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What types of products are suitable for an incline roller conveyor?

  Incline roller conveyors are best suited for items with a flat, stable base that can be conveyed without slipping, such as boxes, crates, and some types of trays. Products with irregular shapes or very smooth surfaces may require alternative conveying methods or specific roller coatings.
