You may find standard conveyor systems effective for horizontal or gently inclined transport over long distances. These systems allow you to control speed and process, which helps reduce the risk of product damage. Independent power zones can minimize downtime if a motor fails. However, you must consider the significant space requirements and the lack of flexibility in warehouse layouts. Standard conveyors often require infrastructure changes and are not portable, which can complicate future adjustments.

You need a conveyor that matches your material’s properties. Steep angle sidewall systems handle a wide range of materials, from fine powders to large aggregates. You can choose the belt base material, cleat type, and sidewall height to fit your needs.

You notice a clear difference when you compare a Steep Angle Sidewall Conveyor Belt to a standard conveyor system. The sidewall design lets you move materials up very steep angles, even close to vertical, while saving space. You can boost your throughput in tight areas without worrying about spillage or loss of control. This system works where traditional conveyors cannot, giving you more flexibility and efficiency.
