Aeromechanical
FloDisc Conveyor
The aeromechanical conveyor is the evolution and all-purpose weapon in the conveying of bulk materials. With the more efficient alternative to the classic chain conveyor, all common free-flowing bulk materials (from fine powders to granulates) are conveyed in high throughputs and with almost no wear. With its slim design, it conveys your products both from, or into, silos, BigBags, mixers, packaging machines and much more
Due to its unique properties, aeromechanical conveying is also ideally suited as a replacement for bucket elevators in the area of powdery bulk materials.
The Aeromechanical Technology
The conveyor cable moves through a tube at a speed of up to
6.8 m/s, creating suction/vacuum behind the conveyor disc. The material – any free-flowing bulk material is suitable – is “pulled” or sucked into this suction without almost no frictional forces or wear on the bulk material. When operating without material, only the existing conveying air circulates in the pipes. When the product is fed, the product volume displaces the air volume. When ejecting, the same amount of air is sucked in again via the funnel.
Advantages
- Very high flow rates with minimum maintenance
- Minimum stress on the bulk materials
- Low energy costs
- Conveying at any angle, from horizontal to vertical
- Can be used as a fixed installation or mobile
- Dry and wet cleaning possibilities
- No external dosing necessary for product infeed
- ATEX Zone II 2D Ex IIIB T200°C Db
Clean, safe, rapid powder handling
The Floveyor Aero-Mechanical Conveyor (AMC) is engineered and manufactured in Western Australia to exacting standards for diverse industries who rely on cleanliness, safety and product integrity in new and existing facilities.
Setting a high standard in vertical point-to-point transfers, the Floveyor powder conveyor can handle a diverse range of powders and granules in a single incline conveyor system. The AMC safely provides energy-efficient bulk materials powder handling without the complexities associated with other conveying technologies. High throughputs and low maintenance demands contribute to the appeal of the aero-mechanical conveyor.
