Notes:

  1. As a rule of thumb, the maximum angle for conveying cardboard boxes is 25 degrees.
  2. If conveying plastic containers, 15 degrees is typically the maximum incline.
  3. The conveyor can be inclined up to 30 degrees.
  4. Use our Box Tumbling Calculator to find the maximum incline angle for your containers.
