Air Lift Belt Conveyors

 

Air Lift Belt Conveyors are used to convey bulk materials in the same manner as a conventional troughed roller supported conveyor. A continuous belt is driven around a head & tail pulley using a normal motor drive, however the one major difference is that a trough section or deck plate is uses as the structure to support the belt & a film of air is introduced between the underside of the belt & the trough, which is supplied by a centrifugal fan.

Air Lift Belt Conveyors can be enclosed for dust containment of product & the environment. Material, general shape, & speed are important basic values to be considered for maximum efficiency, performance, & case of operation. Belts run silent, and can convey fine powder product up to 200mm material size.
