Incline Roller Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Moving packaged food items or containers between different processing levels.
• Transporting raw ingredients, such as sacks of flour or sugar, to mixers or hoppers.
• Elevating products for inspection, sorting, or packaging lines.
• Integrating into automated production lines for continuous material flow.
• Transferring waste products or by-products to collection points.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities typically range from 50 kg/hour to several tonnes/hour, depending on product density and conveyor width.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type is a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with a motor power ranging from 0.37 kW to 2.2 kW.

Conveyor width

Typically, widths for incline roller conveyors in food processing range from 300mm to 1200mm.

Incline angle

Common incline angles are between 15 and 30 degrees, suitable for non-slip product transfer.

Roller material

Rollers are typically made from stainless steel or food-grade plastic for hygiene and durability.

Construction material

The frame is commonly constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) for corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning in food environments.

Throughput

Throughput rates are typically determined by the belt speed and product size, often ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 metres per second.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

  Incline roller conveyors are best suited for items with a stable, flat base, such as boxes, crates, trays, or packaged goods. They are generally not ideal for loose, granular, or irregularly shaped products.
