Decline Conveyor Belt
Smooth, Controlled Downward Product Movement
What is a Decline Conveyor Belt?
А decline conveyor belt is a sloped conveying system used to move items from higher elevations to lower ones in a safe and controlled manner. These conveyors are powered or gravity-fed and can be customized based on speed, angle, and load type.
Unlike incline conveyors that push items uphill, decline conveyors manage the force of gravity, using braking systems and belt surface friction to slow down the product’s movement. The goal is to prevent product damage and ensure gentle transitions—especially for fragile or high-value items.
Вот как это работает:
The conveyor is angled downward, typically between 5° and 25°, depending on the application.
A motorized belt, often with anti-slip coating, controls the speed and movement.
Braking rollers or backstops can be added to prevent runaway products.
It can be used with a powered belt or as a gravity-fed decline, depending on the flow requirements.
This type of system is widely used in industries like logistics, food processing, distribution, e-commerce, and manufacturing, especially where vertical space is optimized and safety is a priority. The decline conveyor is a smart upgrade from slide chutes or manual transport methods, offering both ergonomic improvements and throughput consistency

Decline Conveyor vs Incline Conveyor – What’s the Difference?
While both types are essential for vertical transport, they serve opposite functions. Here’s how they compare:
| Особенность | Decline Conveyor | Incline Conveyor |
|---|---|---|
| Direction | Top to Bottom | Bottom to Top |
| Primary Use | Safe descent of goods | Lifting items to higher elevation |
| Control Mechanism | Speed control, braking, gravity flow | High-friction belts, cleats, powered drive |
| Application Focus | Warehousing, post-processing, packaging | Assembly lines, loading zones |
| Risk Factor | Sliding, free-fall (without brakes) | Slippage or rollback (without cleats) |
Pro tip: Many facilities use both in tandem for U-shaped production layouts, moving goods up with an incline conveyor and down with a decline conveyor for recirculation or repackaging.
Optimizing Workflow with Decline Conveyors
Integrating a конвейер для снижения into your process isn’t just about vertical movement—it’s about creating a smooth, continuous workflow. Here’s how they boost operations:
-
Connect mezzanines to ground floor lines
-
Create gravity-assisted accumulation zones
-
Reduce forklift reliance for inter-floor transport
-
Optimize packaging flow from processing to dispatch
-
Support ergonomic working conditions by automating elevation changes
If you’re reconfiguring an existing facility or designing a new layout, our experts can help you plan where and how to place decline conveyors for maximum throughput.
