Incline/Decline Cleated Belt Conveyors

Steady & Reliable Manufacturer

Product Detailed Professional Description

Incline/Decline Cleated Belt Conveyors are flat belt systems specialized for changing elevation at steep angles (typically 25∘ to 45∘). They utilize a belt vulcanized or mechanically attached with horizontal flights (cleats) to prevent product rollback or slippage. The spacing and height of the cleats are matched to the product size and angle of incline. These conveyors often feature a hopper or angled sidewalls (scoop/bucket design) to ensure containment during the steep transport phase.

Introduction & Company Integration

Wuxi Huiqian supplies space-saving elevation solutions engineered for positive product containment. Our Incline/Decline Cleated Belt Conveyors are built with high-traction belts and precisely spaced cleats, guaranteeing that products maintain their position and do not slip or tumble even on steep gradients. We provide reliable systems that maximize vertical space utilization while ensuring continuous, damage-free elevation change for parts, food products, and packaged goods.

Application Fields

Food Processing: Elevating vegetables, frozen foods, or snack products into packaging machines or freezing tunnels.
Injection Molding: Taking small plastic parts from a collection bin or under a press to an inspection or packing table.
Bulk Parts Handling: Lifting small metal or plastic parts (e.g., fasteners, small components) out of floor-level hoppers.
Packaging Lines: Lifting small pouches or cartons to overhead conveyor lines to maintain a clear production floor.

Specification

Maximum Angle	45∘ (Dependent on cleat height and product density)
Cleat Type	Straight, Scoop, or T-shaped (Vulcanized or Mechanical)
Belt Material	PVC, Urethane, or Food-Grade Rubber
Frame Design	Open Angle Frame or Box Beam (often with integrated side walls)
Cleat Pitch	Varies, typically 100 mm to 300 mm centers

Material Selection Guide

Materials are selected for belt flexibility and cleat rigidity:

Belt/Cleat: Food-grade Polyurethane (PU) or PVC for high flexibility, oil resistance, and cleanability.
Frame: AISI 304/316 Stainless Steel for food and pharmaceutical washdown. Powder-coated Carbon Steel for general industrial use.
Side Walls/Hoppers: Smooth sheet metal or polymer (e.g., HDPE) to guide the product gently.

Advantages & Core Features

Positive Anti-Rollback: Cleats provide a mechanical barrier that ensures the product remains captured and moves positively against gravity.
Space Efficiency: Allows elevation changes in the shortest possible horizontal distance due to the steep angle capability.
Hygienic Design (Food Grade): Systems can be manufactured with stainless steel washdown frames and FDA-approved belt/cleat materials.
Contained Transport: High-walled frames and scoop cleats prevent smaller products from rolling off the sides during the steep incline.

FAQ

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q: What is the main factor determining the maximum incline angle?
A: The maximum angle is determined by the product shape, density, and size relative to the cleat height and spacing. Small, heavy, round objects (e.g., bearings) require a lower angle than large, light, flat boxes.

Q: Are mechanical cleated belts reliable for long-term use?
A: Mechanical (bolted) cleats are easier to replace but can be failure points. Vulcanized (permanently bonded) cleats are generally preferred for maximum longevity and washdown applications, as they eliminate crevices and bolt holes.

Production & Customization Services

We focus on cleat design and product entry:

Custom Cleat Profile: Designing and fabricating cleats with specific rounded edges, textured surfaces, or perforated holes for optimal product pickup or fluid drainage.
Integrated Loading Hoppers: Manufacturing and installing custom-sized infeed hoppers with vibratory feeders or agitation devices to ensure the product is evenly and continuously loaded onto the cleated belt.
Nose-Over Transition: Fabricating the discharge end with a gentle radius transition (nose-over) to allow the product to transfer smoothly to a horizontal conveyor without abrupt drops or tumbling.
