Spiroflow Aero Mechanical Conveyors
Spiroflow Aeroflow Aero Mechanical Conveyors utilize a high-speed rope assembly fitted with specially spaced polyurethane discs travelling inside a sealed conveying tube. During operation, the system generates an airflow that fluidizes and conveys material quickly, efficiently, and gently. They are particularly suitable for applications requiring complete batch evacuation and precise material transfer.
Aero Mechanical Conveyors require a controlled and metered product feed during operation. This prevents overloading and material build-up at the conveyor inlet.
How Does an Aero Mechanical Conveyor Work?
Inside the conveying tube, a steel rope fitted with evenly spaced polyurethane discs travels at high speed. The rope is routed around specially designed pulleys located at each end of the conveyor. One pulley provides the drive, while the other maintains proper rope tension.
The rapid movement of the rope and discs creates an airflow that carries the material throughout the system. As a result, products are conveyed efficiently while maintaining their physical properties and integrity.
Key Benefits
High Conveying Capacity
Spiroflow Aero Mechanical Conveyors can achieve conveying rates exceeding 72 tonnes per hour, depending on the characteristics of the material being handled. They are an ideal solution for facilities requiring rapid movement of large volumes of bulk materials.
Fully Enclosed System
Material is conveyed through a sealed tube, eliminating dust emissions into the surrounding environment. This makes the system particularly suitable for handling fine powders, food ingredients, spices, and chemical additives.
Conveying at Any Angle
The system can operate at angles ranging from 0° to 90° without loss of performance. Corner sections can also be incorporated to create “L” or “Z” configurations, simplifying integration into existing production lines.
Gentle Product Handling
Material is transported within an air stream, minimizing product degradation, breakage, and attrition. This is particularly important when handling fragile products or pre-blended materials.
Maintains Blend Integrity
The aero-mechanical conveying principle keeps blended ingredients evenly distributed throughout the conveying process, preventing product segregation.
Low Energy Consumption
Compared with pneumatic conveying systems, aero-mechanical conveyors require significantly less power, resulting in lower operating costs.
Easy Cleaning
In most applications, the system can be cleaned by emptying and purging the conveyor. For more thorough cleaning, inspection doors provide quick access to the interior of the equipment.
Mobility
Conveyors can be mounted on mobile frames fitted with wheels, allowing a single unit to service multiple production areas.
