How to select and maintain an aeromechanical conveyor
An aeromechanical conveyor can be a cost-effective solution for conveying applications that handle difficult-to-flow materials, require dust-free conveying at various conveying angles, or move material from multiple inlets or to multiple outlets. This article explains how the aeromechanical conveyor works, how to select this conveyor for your application, and how to maintain the conveyor. A sidebar gives a quick rundown of the aeromechanical conveyor's pros and cons to help you determine if the conveyor is right for your application.
An aeromechanical conveyor (also called a rope-and-disc conveyor, hockey-puck conveyor, or aero conveyor) provides enclosed, gentle, high-capacity conveying of dry bulk materials with an average particle size up to 5/8 inch, including powders, granules, pellets, flakes, and chips. Inside the conveyor's tubular housing, discs are attached at regular intervals to a continuous rope. A constant-speed electric drive moves the rope quickly through the tube, creating a conveying action that draws material into the slipstream behind each disc, much like dust is drawn into the slipstream behind a fast-moving car.
