Conveyor systems

Rubber World, Fall, 2008

Frequently referred to as a rope and disk conveyor, Aero-Mechanical Conveyors (AMC) are said to be ideal for transporting material from 10 to 85 feet at rates of up to 120 tons per hour. Benefits of the AMCs are said to include low energy requirements, dust-free transport with minimal product degradation and virtually no separation of mixtures. Besides total batch transport, AMCs are said to offer totally contained, dust-free delivery and operation at any angle, including vertical at heights up to 85 feet without any loss in capacity. The system can be set up as a straight-line operation or in a variety of around-the-corner configurations. Aero-Mechanical Conveyors consist of several evenly placed polyurethane discs attached to a wire rope. The rope and disks travel in a continuous loop and move at high speed within parallel steel tubes. An air stream fluidizes and conveys the product.
