The Air Supported Conveyor Belt, our so-called Air Belt , are usually employed to handle bulk material at high speed. This product has a distinctive feature: the belt slides on an air film that reduces the sliding friction between the belt and the sliding cradle. This eliminates resistance due to the rolling friction of the rollers in the conveyor section.
- Longer spans reduces conveyor support structures, the cross section of conveyor enables support spacing to be every 30 mt and 80 mt when using cable towers.
- No rollers and moving parts between tail and discharge means there is no need for a walkway, galleries and trusses.
- No rollers and lower belt tensions means reduce conveyor maintenance by 75–90%.
- Assembly costs saving, conveyors are shipped pre-assembled in 12 meters lengths, means simpler, faster installation.
- Both the carrying and return sides are completely enclosed.
- Reduces dust emissions.
- Eliminate spills.
- No rotating mass and moving parts, both the carrying and return sides are supported on a cushion (film) of air, means eliminates friction between drive and tail station.
- Saving power up to 30% on horizontal applications.
- Its no-load power requirement is much lower than conventional belt conveyors.
- Sag factors equal to “0” .
- Low power fans.
