Application:
The air slide is used for horizontal transportation of dusty material, (semonlinal) gravally products cannot be transported. Depending on the material type and conveying capacity, the air slide must be installed with an angle of inclination between 5°- 7°.

Material:
Air slide body: St 1203, AIMg3 or 1.4541 and 1.4571 • Aeration plate: Synthetic substances or Sinter metal (Pewter bronze or VA) • Sealing: Rubber

Construction:
The air slide consists of an upper- and lower box, which is separated by the porous aeration plate. The dispersion air is blown into the lower box, while the material to be conveyed is being moved. Both boxes are firmly screwed together and sealed against each other. The air slides are manufactured in pieces not longer than 2500 mm max. and can be screwed together to any length. Appropriate in- and output elements are supplied. An air ventilator is normally used as air source, which is firmly mounted onto the air slide. Each slide section has a hand inspection port as shown in schematic.

Electrical Equipment:
As operating drive for the ventilator a special motor on a seesaw is used. Protection and voltage according to request.

Operation data:
Air volume/m2: Dependent on slide inclination and porous material
Air pressure: Dependent on porous material

Special features:
Using the air slide, a gentle conveying of powdery material is guaranteed. Only limited obsolescence occurs as against mechanical conveying belts like screw conveyors as rotating parts are not used. The aeration plate has a long lifetime and can often be regenerated. The hand inspection port allows a controlled operation and maintenance e. g. to clean the air slide without dismantling. Unlimited input- and output end elements can be installed. Conveying length does not matter, as long as enough height is available.
