Incline Conveyors Vs. Steep Incline Conveyors
A typical incline conveyor is simply a troughed belt conveyor positioned on an incline (or decline). Troughed belt conveyors are generally not effective at inclines greater than 18 degrees, as material slippage on the belt becomes a major concern. Conversely, steep incline conveyors can convey material at inclines up to 90°.
