Air Slide Conveyor

Product Introduction

Air slide conveyor, also known as air gravity conveyor or air-activated conveyor, is an energy-saving enclosed fluidized conveying equipment specially designed for dry fine powder materials. It consists of upper trough, lower trough, permeable aeration layer (aeration cloth / ceramic plate), air inlet assembly, support frame and discharge ports. The upper chamber is for material flow, the lower chamber is the air plenum, and the permeable layer separates the two chambers. There are no rotating, belt or chain moving parts inside the material passage, which brings outstanding reliability, low wear and low maintenance cost. It supports modular assembly, can be equipped with multiple feeding and discharging points, and can be arranged with bends according to the site layout. The whole machine is fully sealed to avoid dust leakage and material pollution.

Working Principle

The air slide conveyor works on the principle of powder fluidization + gravity flow. A low-pressure blower continuously sends low-pressure air (400–800 Pa) into the lower air chamber. The air evenly penetrates upward through the porous aeration layer, filling the gaps between powder particles. The powder is aerated and fluidized, showing liquid-like flow characteristics with greatly reduced internal friction. The conveyor is installed at a slight downward slope (usually 3°~10°, adjusted according to material properties). The fluidized powder slides down the inclined trough by its own gravity to realize continuous conveying, without mechanical pushing forcedryermachi....

Application Scope

It is suitable for dry, fine, free-flowing powder materials, widely used in the following industries:

1. Cement industry: raw meal, cement powder, fly ash, lime powder;

2. Power industry: fly ash, boiler ash;

3. Chemical industry: soda ash, talcum powder, pigment powder, fertilizer powder;

4. Mining & metallurgy: mineral powder, slag powder, limestone powder;

5. Building materials: gypsum powder, calcium carbonate powder;

6. Grain and food: flour, starch and other dry powder materials.

Typical working scenarios: silo discharging, elevator distribution, dust collector ash collection, conveying to downstream equipment, bulk loading for trucks, railcars and bulk storage systemsFuller Tec....

Key Advantages (for your reference in catalogue)

• No moving parts in the material flow path, low wear, minimal maintenance;

• Low energy consumption, only small blower required;

• Fully enclosed structure, dust-free conveying, environmentally friendly;

• Gentle conveying, no crushing of powder particles;

• Low noise, stable continuous operation;

• Flexible layout with multi-point feeding and discharging options.

Note: It is only suitable for downward inclined conveying, not for upward lifting; not applicable for wet, agglomerated or coarse granular materials.
