Used to introduce product to the air stream via the tube instead of or in addition to the inlet housing.
This allows quick access to the inlet housing and sprocket.įor the Americas: A NEMA 7 switch can be provided for use with the hinged access covers in place of the standard NEMA 4 switch.Įlectric or Pneumatic: Used to aid the flow of materials that can bridge in the hopper. This allows quick access to corner and/or discharge housing and sprocket. limestone)Ĭannot be stopped with material in the tubes because the solids will fall out of the air stream & settle to the lowest pointĪ carbon steel (mild steel) or 304 stainless steel floor mounted support base for the inlet housing.Ī twin housing assembly enables a 90° bend of the conveyor which allows quick access to the corner and/or discharge housing and sprocket. Very fine particles, including sub-micron, are easily fluidized, though capacity may be reduced by as much as 50%Īvoid particles that are wedge shaped (i.e. The cable must be tensioned periodically & replaced every 2,000 - 6,000 hours of operationĪir is not displaced at the discharge point, though some venting is required when discharging into a holding vesselĬan be used with extremely fragile materials such as tobacco, coffee beans, pelletized fertilizer, etc. Multiple units can be directly connected without venting
Multiple inlets are possible as long as only one is operational at a time.
Airo mechanical series#
The concept lends itself to multiple outlets so that one conveyor can deliver material to a series of silos for example. This makes the aero mechanical conveyor ideal for transferring pre-weighed batches of bulk and/or minor ingredients. What is fed into the conveyor at the inlet is discharged at the outlet. Any material that is not ejected at the outlet is simply carried around the enclosed system until it is. With an aero mechanical conveyor no additional air is added to convey material so there is no excess air at the outlet to filter for dust. The combination of these two factors means that the integrity of mixtures is maintained during conveying. The conveying action itself is gentle and therefore tends not to disturb mixtures. Given that product is metered into aero mechanical conveyors at a controlled rate, there are almost identical amounts in each pocket between the discs. Optional height adjustment on mobile units is also available when they have to pass under low doorways or when they must discharge at different heights. This makes it possible to use one conveyor to serve several processes or to remove it to a remote wash-down area for cleaning. Spiroflow aero mechanical conveyors can readily be mounted on a wheeled frame complete with controls and a power connection. This makes for a gentle conveying action that minimizes damage to fragile finished products. Materials are suspended in a cushion of air within the conveying tube as it is displaced by the discs traveling at speed. Users benefit by their minimal power requirements and associated energy savings. Pound for pound conveyed, aero mechanical conveyors are one of the most efficient conveyors available. We have been particularly successful with titanium dioxide which is a notoriously difficult material to convey. Virtually all materials can be conveyed in an aero mechanical conveyor ranging from the finest of powders to granules, pellets, flakes, and flocks. They are capable of conveying rates in excess of 160,000 lb/hr / 72,600 kg/hr but this rate will vary according to the bulk density of the product.
High throughputĪero mechanical conveyors can operate at speeds up to 36 ft3/min or 2,160 ft3/hour / 1 m3/min or 61 m3/hr, with many products such as flour. Additionally, aero mechanical conveyors fitted with wash gates and drains can be washed through with water or another cleaning fluid. Safety interlocked cleaning/inspection hatches can be fitted to both the conveying tubes and the sprocket housings.
To avoid cross-contamination of product it is often sufficient to simply purge the conveyor with a sacrificial quantity of material. Because of the total transfer capability of aero mechanical conveyors cleaning is not necessary for most applications.
