Fuller AirslideTM Operation Air-activated gravity conveyor

Fluidization of material on the Airslide media

Fluidization reduces the angle of repose causing flow.

Example: A material with a normal angle repose of45 with fluidization may flow like a liquid on a 5 to6 slope.

Fuller Airslide Manufacturing Standards Heavy-gauge steel sections with bent flanges

Airslide conveyors are shipped in standard sectionlengths of 12ft (3.65m)

Standard widths of fluidized area is 4 up to 34(100 to 850mm)

Bolted airtight flanges

Optional fabric media available to fit the application

There is no conveying length limitation to the Airslide conveyor based upon availability of headroom and proper slope.

Designed for dependability.Proven to perform.

Airslide Conveyor Applications

Conveying: Quiet & Simple Point-to-Point Transfer

Positive flow regulation (low - high capacities)

Quiet operation

Low maintenance no rotating parts in contact

with materials being conveyed

Fully fluidized gentle conveying action Minimized wear from abrasion

Generally, materials passing through 35 mesh US Std. can be conveyed through a Fuller Airslide.

Proven Application Examples: Alumina

Barytes

Bentonite

Calcined Magnesite

Cement Raw and Finish Material

Clay

Fly Ash

Ground Ores

Phosphates

Precipitator Dust

Resins

Silica
