Inclined belt conveyors can not only be used in large-scale industrial production such as stone factories, mines, and timber factories, but also can be used in food processing plants to complete the transportation of food raw materials, food semi-finished products, and finished products, and can be used to transport fruits and vegetables , nuts, powder, snacks, etc. go upstairs, enter the silo, complete loading and unloading, etc., and can realize 30-90° transportation.

Inclined belt conveyor for inclined conveying of food

The layout of the food processing plant is complex and compact. After some food raw materials are processed, they need to go to the second floor or the mezzanine for further processing. The inclined belt conveyor can directly transport the food raw materials to be processed from the first floor to the second floor, saving transportation time and cost.

The inclined belt conveyor for food is usually designed with skirts and baffles, which can ensure or reduce the slipping of food during the conveying process.

Belt material of inclined belt conveyor in food transportation

Conveyor belts used in the food industry are usually white, blue or partially green food-grade PVC belts, which are safe, non-toxic, waterproof and oil-proof, and some of them can choose high-temperature/low-temperature resistant designs.

According to different conveying conditions (determined by conveying angle and material state), you can choose a conveyor belt with only baffles or a conveyor belt with both skirts and baffles.

Advantages of inclined belt conveyor applied to food transportation

The use of inclined belt conveyors to transport food can meet various characteristics of the food industry at the same time:

There are various types of food, and most of the food semi-finished or finished products are fragile, and the belt conveying reduces extrusion;

The layout of the food processing plant is compact, and the inclined belt conveyor has a large conveying capacity while occupying a small space, which meets the demand;

Belt conveyor technology is mature, low cost, easy to maintain and easy to use.
