Incline Conveyors
Incline Conveyors
An incline conveyor is a powered conveyor that transports loads up a slope. An incline conveyor will use the natural force of gravity to transport your item from one place to another. The incline will need to be steep enough for the item to move between locations of its own accord, which usually means the creation of a two floor system, or at least the modification of an existing two floor structure. If the right type of structure is in place, and the item is sturdy enough to stand being dropped on a steep incline, then this type of movement conveyor could well be just what you need. Conveyed items on incline can be moved in two directions – both forward and back. Reversing applications require center drive.
Incline conveyors can be used as independent units to move material from one level to another. When used with gravity conveyor, it provides continuous flow of material from one floor to another. Conveyed items on incline can be moved in two directions – both forward and back. Reversing applications require center drive. Incline conveyors are normally equipped with NOSEOVER at the upper end. This enables the conveyed product to level off to a horizontal position before being discharged. This is highly desirable for cartons carrying breakables. The nose over eliminates a dropping action by the front of the carton when it reaches the top. An incline conveyor can speed up the process with which items are manufactured allowing you to achieve the optimum results at no extra charge.
If you decide that an incline conveyor is suitable for your business, Alterations to your building may be necessary before the installation can take place. You have the best features of automation, in that the item is moved quickly from one location to the other without the need for an employee to spend their time physically moving it, but it also has the best feature of a manual system in that there is no fuel consumption. The one downside of these great benefits is that the system needs to be set up right in the first place, and that is not necessarily easy of cheap. Even the incline conveyor itself is not cheap or easy to install, because it will nearly always be custom made to the needs of the specific business.
