FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
By implementing an Aerobelt system you will automatically reduce your maintenance costs, power consumption and in many cases reduce your upfront capital expenses due to its unique design
The system does not have any moving parts between the Tail end and the Head end of the system, as the belts moves with-in the ‘woke’ shaped trough riding on a ‘film’ of air and without any friction
No, the system comes with its own air supply – as we are only needing a small amount of air, around 2%psi – to achieve this we install a small fan & motor at the Head end of the conveyor.
On the bottom of the ‘woke’ shaped trough we have a series of holes drilled into it which allows the air to escape out of the trough and under the belt.
No this is not required as the conveyor is made of corrugated tin and is significantly lighter weight then other conveyor systems. For replacement systems, we will remove your old system and then sit the new Aerobelt on the structure you have in place.For new system, we will design the support structure, and, in most cases, we will not have any catwalks as they are not needed, which is a major savings to your business.
Any granular or small particle products, including flour and powders – typical products but not restricted to this list – Rice, Wheat, Barley, Coffee, Fertilizer, Flour, Mortar, Woodchips, Sand, Mining materials, Fly-Ash, Chemicals, etc.
Yes, it does and when it is required to meet food safety standards, we use a ‘white’ belt and we can have covers for the top of the conveyor so no contaminations can enter the product flow and if required we can also have bottom covers as well, if they are needed, like reducing the potential of vermin or insects entering the bottom of the conveyor.
Yes, it can, for most products we can incline up to 25 degrees.
Yes, the Aerobelt system can convey products up to 390°F / 200°C
Yes, the Aerobelt design has a maximum capacity of 3,000 metric tonnes per hour
Yes, we have had applications that are longer than 2,500’
