Outfeed / Inclined Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Transferring products from one processing stage to another, often elevating them to a higher level.
• Loading packaging machinery, ensuring a continuous and controlled product flow.
• Discharging finished goods from production lines into collection bins or further transport systems.
• Moving bulk materials or individual items in food processing, pharmaceutical, or general manufacturing environments.
• Integrating with weighing, sorting, or inspection systems to maintain product flow.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Varies significantly based on belt width, speed, and incline angle, but commonly handles throughputs from a few kilograms to several hundred kilograms per hour for this class of equipment.

Power supply

Typically 230V single-phase or 400V three-phase, 50Hz, depending on motor size and application.

Belt material

Commonly food-grade PVC, PU, or modular plastic belting, selected based on product contact and hygiene requirements.

Incline angle

Units of this type typically feature adjustable or fixed incline angles, commonly ranging from 15 to 45 degrees.

Frame construction

Often stainless steel for hygienic applications or mild steel (painted/powder-coated) for general industrial use.

Footprint

Highly variable depending on length, width, and height requirements; buyers should contact the seller for exact dimensions.
