Steep Incline Belt Conveyors

High-angle elevation where floor space is at a premium.

Cleated, chevron, or pocket belting for high-angle elevation of bulk materials where floor space is limited. Incline angles of up to 90 degrees are achievable depending on material and belt profile.

Cleated belt conveyor for high-angle elevation in space-constrained plants

01 / 07

Overview

Steep incline conveyors use specially profiled belts to carry bulk materials at angles far beyond what a standard flat or troughed belt can achieve. Cleated belts use transverse rubber or steel cleats moulded to the belt surface to retain product on steep slopes. Chevron belts use a V-pattern profile for intermediate angles with free-flowing granular materials. Pocket or sandwich belts fully enclose the material between two belts for near-vertical or vertical elevation. These systems eliminate the need for a large floor footprint when elevation is required in tight plant areas.

Key Features

Incline angles from 25° to 90° depending on belt type
Cleated, chevron, and pocket/sandwich belt options
Compact plan footprint vs equivalent bucket elevator
Gentle product handling: no impact at discharge
