Mundell Engineering Ltd - Incline Conveyor

• Elevating products between different levels in a production line.
• Feeding processing machinery from floor level hoppers or bins.
• Transferring items over short distances where gravity feed is not suitable.
• Loading packaging machines with bulk product.
• Moving waste or reject products to collection points.

Typical capacity

Throughput for incline conveyors of this type commonly ranges from 500 kg/hr to 5,000 kg/hr, depending on product density and belt speed.

Power supply

Units in this class typically operate on a 3-phase supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with motor sizes from 0.37 kW to 1.5 kW.

Incline angle

The incline angle is commonly adjustable or fixed between 20 and 45 degrees, suitable for various product types.

Belt material

Belts are typically food-grade PVC or PU, often with flights or grip surfaces to prevent product rollback.

Frame material

Frames are commonly constructed from stainless steel for hygiene-critical applications or mild steel for general industrial use.

Footprint

The footprint for an incline conveyor of this model type can vary significantly based on length and height, but typically requires several square metres of floor space.

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

  Incline conveyors are suitable for a wide range of bulk products, including granules, powders, small components, and packaged goods, provided the incline angle and belt type are appropriate.

• How is the speed typically controlled?

• What maintenance is typically required for an incline conveyor?

• Can this type of conveyor be integrated into existing lines?

• Are spare parts readily available for unknown manufacturer units?

Buyers typically value conveyor systems for their reliability and longevity when well-maintained. Key considerations when purchasing used units include belt condition, motor functionality, frame integrity, and available spare parts. Industry sentiment emphasises the importance of verifying operational history and cleanliness standards, particularly for food handling applications. Common strengths include robust construction, relatively straightforward maintenance requirements, and cost savings versus new equipment. Reputable manufacturers' models tend to hold their value well and integrate readily into existing production lines.
