Product Description

Air slide air gravity conveying system based on Fuller technology uses the forces of gravity to do most of the work without any moving parts. Air slide air gravity systems provide high capacity material handling while offering many economical and environmental advantages. The Air slide conveyor is dust tight. As a result, the system is extremely friendly to the environment. Energy requirements are minimal because only a small volume of air at a low pressure is required to move material. Since the system is installed overhead, valuable floor space and added headroom are available for other purposes. By eliminating the need for massive support members, it permits a flexibility of plant design not available with straight-line conveyors. Noise level is extremely low in the area surrounding the Air slide conveyor as the system’s air supply is the only moving part to generate noise, and it is generally located in a remotely insulated area to further reduce noise. Maintenance of the Air slide conveyor is very simple because there are no moving parts other than the air supply equipment, which also contributes to increased plant safety. Air slide conveyors require no lubrication. Air slide conveyors can be used in a single straight run, but are equally as effective when used in large systems. Through the use of turn boxes, conveyors can easily change directions, merge, or split without the need for powered conveyors or diverters. Manual or powered shut off gates can be integrated into any point of the system to control flow.
