Inclined conveyor systems have proven to be the perfect solution for automatically moving unit loads between different floors, levels and work areas in a warehouse or production center. This automated internal transport solution allows two conveyor lines on two different levels to be connected to save time when moving goods and achieve efficiency in handling repetitive loads.
 

What is an Inclined Conveyor?

An inclined conveyor is an automated internal product transport system that connects two conveyor lines located at different heights in a storage or production area. This automated solution to overcome unevenness is suitable for moving a variety of loads. It can be configured with different tilt angles and speeds to adapt to the characteristics of any warehouse.
 

Structural characteristics of inclined conveyors

• Conveyor frame made of stainless steel, steel or aluminum profiles
• Conveyor belts are mainly made of PVC, PU or rubber
• Belts used in inclined conveyors are often rough or ribbed to prevent products from slipping when moving
• Conveyor tilt angle from 30, 45, 60 degrees depending on transportation requirements
• Conveyor height and length are customized according to requirements
• Conveyor controller
• Roller bearing system
• Mobile inclined conveyors are equipped with wheels for easy movement
• Inclined conveyors can transport light and medium-sized products quickly

How do inclined conveyors work?

Inclined conveyors are integrated into a conveyor chain to cover long distances, moving goods between two or more points in a facility. Conveyors are designed to transfer products between multiple heights, from the ground floor to a higher floor and vice versa.

Incline conveyors consist of a conveyor that moves unit loads up or down the flow of a warehouse or production area. Designed to preserve the integrity of goods, the slope of this internal transport solution is tailored to the needs of each product.

Incline conveyors do not require manual handling, they are controlled by a control system to easily adjust the transport speed, helping to ensure product safety.
 

Types of Incline Conveyors for You to Choose

Currently, there are many types of inclined conveyors with different structures and functions to be used for each specific application. Below are some commonly used types of inclined conveyors.
 

- Mobile inclined conveyors:

Designed like other types of inclined conveyors, but they can be moved thanks to the wheel system. Attaching wheels to the conveyor makes the mobile inclined conveyor more flexible, serving many transportation requirements in many locations.

Mobile inclined conveyors are often designed to be able to adjust the tilt to suit the loading requirements. Mobile inclined conveyors can be used in factories, warehouses or loading and unloading areas.
 

- Fixed inclined conveyors

With fixed inclined conveyors, there will be no wheels and they will be installed at a certain location. Usually, this conveyor will fix the tilt for loading goods. They are used at a certain location in the factory, such as the location where goods are loaded onto cars
 

- Lifting inclined conveyors

Lifting conveyors are the most common conveyors in areas where goods are loaded onto and unloaded from vehicles or warehouses. The conveyor has a height-lifting mechanism, which can adjust the tilt angle to suit the convenience. Lifting inclined conveyors are highly customizable and adaptable to many working environments, so they are used in many industries.
 

- PVC rough inclined conveyors:

• PVC rough inclined conveyors help increase anti-slip when goods are moved at an angle.
• Advantages of rough PVC conveyor belts are known as a type of high-strength conveyor belt, PVC conveyor belts have good moisture resistance, acid, oil, gas, environmental damage resistance, and high tear resistance.
• Each conveyor belt is designed to suit the purpose of use, creating high efficiency in production, meeting the maximum needs of customers. Learn more about PVC conveyor belts.

- Ribbed inclined conveyor belts

• Ribbed inclined conveyor belts are automatically operated by motor traction, easily moving goods up at a suitable angle.
• Ribbed conveyor belts will help products move up easily without slipping down, ensuring product safety.

Benefits of using inclined conveyors in industry

• Inclined conveyors are used to move goods up or down, saving transportation time and increasing production efficiency
• The conveyor can be used in small, narrow locations, reducing floor space
• The tilt angle of the conveyor can be adjusted, making it very flexible and convenient to use
• It is easy to install inclined conveyors in many different locations
• The conveyor operates stably, has low noise, and operates effectively in many environments
• The conveyor helps the production and transportation of goods to take place smoothly and continuously, increasing productivity and saving human labor.

Main applications of inclined conveyors:

• Inclined conveyors are used to move products in the industry from low to high positions or vice versa to meet high production efficiency.
• The conveyor is an ideal solution for transferring products between mezzanines or upper floors to the ground floor of the warehouse or vice versa.
• Inclined conveyor systems are used in many industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, confectionery, agricultural and aquatic products, rice, etc.
• Inclined conveyors can be used in warehouse locations, transferring goods onto and off vehicles.
• In addition, we can see rubber conveyors with a certain incline design in transporting coal and minerals.

Intech Group installs standard, high-quality inclined conveyors

An industrial facility cannot operate efficiently without material handling equipment. Conveyor systems can be found everywhere, in the chemical, pharmaceutical, automotive, aerospace, mining, bottling and canning, printing, packaging and many other industries. A reliable system for transporting products and raw materials inside a distribution center or manufacturing facility is very important for industrial processes.

Inclined conveyors are an ideal automated solution to streamline the movement of goods between two or more areas located on different floors. This internal transport system ensures a continuous flow of loads from the unit to the storage, production or dispatch area. Furthermore, inclined conveyors are a scalable, flexible and configurable solution.
