UNDERSTANDING HOW AIR SLIDE CONVEYOR SYSTEMS WORK
Air slides offer a few of the most efficient and useful methods of conveying bulk powder product. All we require is some low-pressure air, an aeration bed and a small slope (gravity) and we can communicate hundreds of lots of products over long distances.
Air slides are utilized extensively in conveying homogenous dry powder in lots of markets including minerals and mining where it is utilized in cement, lime and fly ash. The Food industry usage air slides on flour and lots of powders in the chemical industry are preferably suited to air slides.
Air slides have no moving parts and are frequently a far better solution than utilizing screw conveyors, drag chains and belt conveyors.
KNOWING THE STANDARD AIR SLIDE CONVEYOR FEATURES
These are a few of the fundamental features of an air slide conveyor system:
Common air slide area width and height of the aeration bed determines the communicating rate
Turning box (pots) are used to divert the circulation from one direction to another.
The aeration fabric which is typically woven permeable polyester
Fan or Blower to supply the aeration air through the aeration cloth
Dam plates that are used to change the depth of aeration bed.
Air control valves that can be used to adjust the quantity of aeration air being used.
Evaluation ports that offer access to aesthetically examine inside the air slide section.
Dust collection vents to get rid of the spent air that is used up from the product during the communicating.
A typical air slide installation in a cement depot will convey product from a silo discharge some range where it lastly discharges cement via a packing chute into a cement tanker.
Techair air slides unlike lots of other suppliers set up a perforated metal support sheet under the aeration cloth which supplies stability and less motion of the material while conveying which will extend the life of the fabric.
