Fuller Airslide Conveying Technology ®

®

Fluidized Gravity Conveying Systems ■ Economical, energy-efficient ■ High capacity, high performance ■ Versatile and reliable

Airslide Loading & Unloading Systems Railcar • High-capacity loading and unloading systems

Large Diameter Silos • Efficient filling and unloading systems • Uniform filling system

Trailer

• Fluidized silo bottom

• Dust-controlled loading and unloading systems

Fuller Airlift and Airslide conveying systems convey alumina at a net rate of 750 mtph in a major Western United States facility.

F.L.Smidth Advantages • Engineered system • Single-source responsibility • Global service / technology support • Reliable designs based upon experience

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

Proven Application Examples: • Alumina Enlarged detail below

• Barytes • Bentonite • Calcined Magnesite • Cement Raw and Finish Material • Clay • Fly Ash

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

• Ground Ores • Phosphates • Precipitator Dust

From Silo

• Resins • Silica

Airslide Conveying Multiple Inlet to Multiple Outlets Flexibility • No additional conveyors needed to change directions

Single Power Source • One blower or fan is sufficient for system

High Capacity / Long Distance • Conveying volumes up to 1500 cubic meters and conveying distances in the 100’s of feet

Fuller Airslide Manufacturing Standards

• Air-activated gravity conveyor

• Heavy-gauge steel sections with bent flanges

• Fluidization of material on the Airslide media

• Airslide conveyors are shipped in standard section lengths of 12ft (3.65m)

• Fluidization reduces the angle of repose causing flow. • Example: A material with a normal angle repose of 45º with fluidization may flow like a liquid on a 5º to 6º slope.

• 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.
