Fluidized Gravity Conveying Systems Economical, energy-efficient High capacity, high performance Versatile and reliable
Engineered systems Single source responsibility Global service and technology support Reliable designs based upon experience
FLSmidths Airslide Air Gravity Conveying System uses the forces of gravity to do most of the work without any moving parts. Material is fluidized through a porous media with low pressure air. Material flow is achieved by sloping the Airslide conveyor to match the fluidized angle of repose of the powdered material. At the correct slope, fluidized materials flow with the consistency of a liquid. Airslide Air Gravity systems provide highcapacity material handling while offering many economical and environmental advantages. Energy requirements are minimal because only a small volume of air at a low pressure is required to move material. Since the system is installed overhead, valuable floor space and added headroom are available for other purposes. By eliminating the need for massive support members, it permits a flexibility of plant design not available with straight-line conveyors. The Airslide conveyor is dust tight. As a result, the system is extremely friendly to the environment.
Noise level is extremely low in the area surrounding the Airslide conveyor as the systems air supply is the only moving part to generate noise, and it is generally located in a remotely insulated area to further reduce noise. Maintenance of the Airslide conveyor is very simple because there are no moving parts other than the air supply equipment, which also contributes to increased plant safety. Airslide conveyors require no lubrication. Typical Airslide Conveyor Applications Distribution from bucket elevators to storage silos Gathering under baghouses / precipitators Feed to process Feed to other conveyors Loadout from bulk silos to trucks, railcars or barges In-plant conveying Storage silo / bin withdrawal

All fly ash has a natural angle of repose, often in excess of 45 degrees.

With fluidization, gravity flow can be achieved at a greatly reduced slope of 8 degrees or less.
> 45
Without any fluidization, the Airslide conveyor would have to be inclined on an angle greater than the angle of repose to establish gravity flow.
