CLOSED AIR SLIDE— Air slide or air slide conveyor is a kind of pneumatic conveying equipment for conveying dry powder materials, which can transport powder materials with particle size of 3-6 mm or less. In the cement industry, air slide conveyor is often used to transport cement, fly ash, and raw materials. So, it is known as air slide in cement plant.
Air slide is widely used in conveying materials because it has many advantages, including no rotating parts, easy maintenance, good sealing, no noise, safe and reliable operation, less power consumption, convenient to change the direction of transmission, and cement air slide can be multi-point feeding and multi-point unloading.
Air slide is a fluidized bed conveying equipment, which is composed of two upper and lower fluted shells. There is a breathable layer between the shells with wear resistance, high temperature resistance and good breathability. The whole shell is arranged at a certain slope, and the materials are added to the upper shell by the feeding equipment. The aerated material flows forward along the slope to achieve the purpose of conveying,
Slope is one of the necessary conditions for material flow in the tank, small slope is conducive to process design, large slope is conducive to material flow, saving power investment.
The main component of the air slide conveyor is a breathable layer, also called air slide fabric, using PETS-6(polyester) type synthetic fiber fabric, is a new breathable type, it has high temperature resistance (up to 150℃), corrosion resistance, wear resistance, low moisture absorption, light weight, flat surface, long service life and other advantages.
