L-shaped belt conveyor, also known as an angled conveyor, pocket-type conveyor, steep incline conveyor, G-shaped conveyor, horizontal-inclined or inclined-horizontal conveyor, is a type of belt conveyor with a transport path shaped like a stretched-out letter "L" or "G". These conveyors are used for transporting various types of materials, both bulk and unit loads. Bulk materials may include snacks, salt, sugar, canned food preparations, semi-finished products, construction mixes, plastic granules, paper waste, press residues, fruits and vegetables in bulk, and others. Unit loads include boxes, bags, household appliances, packaged goods, and individual parts.
Key features of the L-shaped conveyor include the presence of a lower horizontal section and an inclined section at an angle ranging from 5 to 80 degrees (and rarely up to 90 degrees). Depending on the incline angle, the belt may be equipped with cleats, barriers, or pockets to prevent slippage. For specific cargo, additional features such as corrugated sidewalls or steel sideboards on the frame may be included.
One of the core competencies of VIMALSPETSBUD Construction Company is the manufacturing of belt conveyors and related components. We specialize in solving complex transportation tasks for raw materials, workpieces, or finished products within various technological processes. Our approach includes full-cycle service: design, engineering, production, installation, warranty and post-warranty maintenance.
The standard configuration of our L-shaped conveyors includes: a drive unit, tensioning station, support structures, conveyor belt, rollers, support rollers or bearings at bending points, and an electrical box with start/stop controls. Typically, cleats are welded onto the belt to ensure material lift and prevent rollback. The dimensions and pattern of these cleats are selected based on the nature and size of the transported product, as well as the design of the conveyor system.
Upon request, we can also equip our conveyors with additional components such as: sidewalls, hoppers, enclosures, mobility wheels, collection trays for fallen material, height-adjustable supports (+/- 50 mm), metal detectors, frequency converters for speed regulation, reversible drives, and customized belt profiles with cleats or corrugated sidewalls.
In essence, the L-shaped belt conveyor is functionally identical to the G-shaped conveyor, optimized for bottom loading. You can either choose a conveyor model yourself or contact us directly—our managers will help you find the right belt conveyor for your needs, and our planning engineers will design a custom solution tailored to your production requirements.
We are based in Chernihiv and manufacture L-shaped belt conveyors of any dimensions to order, based on customer specifications, in the shortest possible time and at competitive prices. You can purchase L-shaped conveyors manufactured by VIMALSPETSBUD by submitting an online request or contacting us by phone. (Go to Contacts)
