What are some of the types of inclined conveyors?
Among the popular types of inclined conveyors which are mainly used in the industrial applications are the slider bed inclined conveyors, the roller bed inclined conveyors, and the cleated belt inclined conveyors. For one, the slider bed incline conveyors involve the sheet metal frames that bear the rollers at either ends. On the other hand, the belt slides are placed across those solid metal frames so the name slider bed came into being. This type of conveyor is actually less expensive because of the steel bed material. It is also easier to install, and quiet to operate. The bulk of loads to be carried onto it range from light to medium. The slider bed incline conveyor is able to incline by up to a total of thirty degrees as it depends upon the items being moved. Next is the roller bed incline conveyor. It is endowed with channel frames placed with rollers just underneath the belt. The rollers are the ones which allow you to load more weight as compared with that of the slider incline
