STEEP INCLINE
FEECO International's steep incline conveyor
permits the transport of bulk material at inclines
ranging from 18 to 90. Material applications
include coal fines, fertilizer, wood chips,
chemicals, assembly parts, scrap material and
many other bulk materials. The advantages of
this unique design include ...
REDUCED MATERIAL DEGRADATION
Through "L' and "S" shape designs, transfer points
are eliminated allowing smooth continuous conveying.
REDUCED SPILLAGE
Corrugated sidewalls which contains the material
reduces spillage along conveyor path and loading
points.
LESS SPACE REQUIREMENTS
Steeper geometric options of the steep incline
conveyor reduces the length requirements compared
to conventional conveyors which eliminates wasted
space.
LONGER BELT LIFE
Belt abrasion is curtailed by restricted movement of
material.
CUSTOM DESIGN
FEECO's steep incline conveyors are specifically
designed according to customers requirements, using
top quality components.
FEECO International, Inc. has been designing,
engineering and manufacturing material handling
equipment for over 35 years. Our steep incline
conveyor has been applied to solve handling
problems for many different industries. Whether it
is a single piece of equipment or a complete
turnkey operation, FEECO has the skills and
experience to meet your needs. Let us put our
experience to work for you. For an early exchange
of ideas on your next project call us at

BELTING DESIGN
The steep incline conveyor uses a flexible
corrugated sidewall belting which contains
the material and permits loose material
such as fertilizer, coal fines, chemicals,
assembly parts, scrap materials, grain,
sludge, and other bulk materials to be .
,
conveyed without spilling. A choice of
cleated belting is available which prevents
fall back of the material when conveying at
steep inclined angles up to 90.
MATERIAL TRANSFER
Loading points remain clean with custom
designed inlet hoppers which maximize
loading capacity for straight incline,
horizontal, "L', and "S" shape
configurations. Turning wheel assemblies
are incorporated to direct belting up the
desired incline. Fully enclosed systems are
available to protect material and reduce
dust. Due to this unique all-in-one design,
transfer points are eliminated preventing
product degradation and spillage and allows
for smooth continuous conveying of the
material.
DRIVE ASSEMBLY
Head and tail sections come fully
assembled with shop mounted pulleys and
complete drive systems. The picture at the
right illustrates a shaft mounted reducer
with V-belt drive. Other drive options
available are direct coupled and chain drive.
Back stops can either be mounted internally
to the reducer or externally on the conveyor
head shaft. The steep incline conveyor is
ideally suited as a replacement for drag
chain or bucket elevators. This means less
noise and maintenance and often at a lower
initial cost.

Head Pulley: SO-610
Shown here is a solid steel pulley with lagging.
This will increase the grip of the pulley on the
belt, reduce belt slippage and wear and add extra
lift to belt and pulleys. Solid steel with flat or
crown face pulleys as well as wing type with or
without lagging may be furnished upon request.
Troughing Idlers: SD-620 - 623
Four series to fit most requirements. Sealed or
greaseable bearings. Standard and ' special pur-
pose types. 20, 35, and 45 designs.
*(Note: Safety Guards have been removed for photographic purposes only
Guards must be in place when operating .)
Tail Pulley: SO-611
Shown here is a self cleaning wing type pulley
which is furnished upon request. Normally, a solid
steel with crowned face is furnished as a standard.
Flat face pulleys can also be furnished upon
request.
Takeup:
Shown here is a rugged travel screw takeup to
provide belt tightening. For longer conveyors, the
takeup may be a gravity unit in either the hori-
zontal or vertical position. If gravity takeup is
used, tail pulley is in a fixed position.
Joint Frame:
This frame is jig built for accuracy. The frame
prevents twisting of the truss sections and main-
tains alignment.

SO-663
Partial top cover as well as return cover
shown. Both are formed in 10' sections
from heavy gauge sheet steel to protect
the belting and idlers while providing easy
access to idlers.
SO-662
Corrugated top cover, hinged and galvan-
ized. Covers protect the belt, material and
idlers from rain, snow, ice, wind and sun
while still providing ready access to idlers.
SO-657
Walkway supports and railings provide
easy access for inspection and mainten-
ance. Available for either side or both
sides. Supports are bolted to bottom of
truss.
SO-614
42" truss showing the end section and the
bolting plates provided to make it easy to
bolt each intermediate section together.
This view also shows clearly the lateral
bracing bolted for ease of erection.

Heavy duty "A" frame support fabricated

of four structural steel channels with hori-
zontal and "X" bracing. This specific sup-
port shown is used at each end of a very
long span to provide the necessary longi-
tudinal support as well as the vertical and
horizontal stability.

For dimensions greater than the limits of the chart, divide the given dimensions by a figure to bring 0
length within the range of the chart. Multiply the result by the same figure to restore the ::::s
proportions. Example: 160 ft. horizontal distance, 52 ft. lift. Dividing by 2 = 80 ft. and 26 ft. <0)

Intersection of vertical line from 80 ft. horizontal distance and horizontal line from 26 ft. lift = length '< I
