HIGH THROUGHPUT, TOTAL BATCH TRANSFER
Transfer of material takes place within an enclosed tube as it becomes entrained in the moving air-stream created by the high speed movement of disks, attached to a tensioned wire rope, travelling through the tube.
In practice, the rope carrying the disks is a continuous loop running around sprockets at each end of a flow and return tube arrangement. One of the sprockets is motor-driven, the other acts as the rope tensioning device.
The conveying air stream acts to cushion the product ensuring minimal break-up and separation of the product while offering significant throughput capabilities.
Applications
Aero-mechanical conveyors are ideal for difficult products such as titanium oxide and other products which have tendency to smear or are cohesive. Aero-mechanical conveyor elevating chemicals. Discharge heights can be specified for individual requirements.
Aero-mechanical conveyors can convey materials at any angle between 0° and 90° without loss in throughput capacity. In addition, they offer total batch transfer. Mobile AMCs are used extensively both in and out of the factory environment.
Construction can be of epoxy painted carbon steel or grades of stainless steel to suit the application. The discs are made" from food grade PU and are without rivets.
Options
Optional patented devices are available to ensure the smooth and trouble- free operation of ‘Spiroflow’ Aero-Mechanical Conveyors. Extensive trials have shown that rope life can be increased by up to 40% by use of these devices. The choice of unit depends on length of conveyor, usage and type of product being conveyed.
