POWDER CONVEYING AT HIGH EFFICIENCY AND TEMPERATURE

AIRSLIP™ fluidizing fabrics are used for the transportation of powder or granulated bulk materials all over the world. There are virtually no limits to their applications. Our fabrics ensure fast, trouble-free air slide transportation, total discharge for silos, trucks, railway wagons and vessels, as well as optimal coating in fluidising basins.

HOW DOES AIRSLIP™ WORKS?

1

Driving low-pressure, low-velocity air
through and between particles of a dry
bulk material, changing its behavior
characteristics and making it flow more
like a liquid than a solid.

Material pile at natural angle of repose

All dry bulk material has a natural angle
of repose, often in excess of 45°.

2

Without any fluidisation, the
conveyor would need to be
inclined at an angle greater
than the angle of repose to
establish gravity flow.

Material pile requiring steeper conveyor angle
3

With fluidization, gravity
flow can be achieved
at a greatly reduced
slope - of 8° or less.

WHAT MAKES AIRSLIP™ UNIQUE?

Airslip™ Fabric Coating Chemistries are engineered to enhance fluidisation performance, durability, and operational reliability in demanding powder conveying and storage applications.Using surface modification through ionisation process and then impregnating a light coat, Airslip fabric retains the chemistries for a long period, delivering consistent results.

Quick release coating
  • Allows powder to discharge quickly.
  • Avoids static build up on surface.
Anti Acid/ Alkali resistant coating
  • Coating allows dry acid resistance of up to pH 2 and dry alkali resistance of up to pH 12.
  • Protects the degradation of material to give longer life.
Abrasion resistant coating
  • Suitable for high temperature for powder of Mohs 6+.
  • Adds to abrasion resistance to increase the life.

AIR PERMEABILITY PRESSURE DROP OVER THE LIFETIME [MMWG]

Compared to the AIRSLIP™ fabric which shows a consistent air permeability pressure drop over the entire lifetime of the fabric, the competitive spun yarn fabric has up to 50% less fabric lifetime* due to decreasing air permeability resistance.
