Large Incline Conveyor with Bulk Tank Hopper

Applications & Use Cases

• Used for elevating bulk materials from a lower to a higher processing stage.
• Suitable for transferring granular, powdered, or small lumpy products.
• Commonly found in food processing lines, packaging operations, and agricultural settings.
• Ideal for feeding weighing machines, packaging equipment, or other processing machinery.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from 500 kg/hr to several tonnes/hr, depending on belt width and incline angle.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with motor ratings from 0.75 kW to 2.2 kW.

Incline angle

Incline conveyors commonly operate at angles between 30 and 60 degrees, optimised for material flow and space efficiency.

Belt material

Given its ex-fish factory origin, the belt is typically food-grade PVC or PU, often with flights for effective material elevation.

Hopper material

The bulk tank hopper is typically constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Footprint

The overall footprint will vary significantly, but buyers should consider the length of the incline and the hopper dimensions for installation planning.
