NEH Engineering Services - Ltd Incline Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Moving bulk food ingredients such as grains, powders, or small solids between different processing stages.
• Elevating products from floor level to higher processing machinery like mixers, fillers, or packaging lines.
• Transferring finished food products into hoppers, storage bins, or onto subsequent conveyor systems.
• Integrating into automated production lines to maintain a continuous flow of materials.
• Handling waste products or by-products within a food processing facility for disposal or further processing.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can range from a few hundred kilograms to several tonnes per hour, depending on belt width and incline angle.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, a 3-phase industrial electrical supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) is typically required, though smaller units may use single-phase.

Belt material

Belts are typically food-grade, often made from PVC, PU, or modular plastic, selected for hygiene and resistance to specific food products.

Frame material

Frames are commonly constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance in food environments.

Incline angle

Units of this type typically feature adjustable or fixed incline angles, often between 15 and 45 degrees, depending on the product and application.

Footprint

The footprint varies significantly based on length, width, and incline, but buyers should consider the space required for both the conveyor and access for cleaning and maintenance.
