The Bevcon-Aerobelt Cushion-of-Air conveyors have been desingned to overcome many of the problems associated with standard roller-supported conveyors.
Bevcon-Aerobelt conveyors are well proven having been used for over 25 years throughout the world to convey a wide variety of materials in Lumps / Granuels / Dust & Power form, which includes Coal, Limestone, Cement, Fly Ash / Dust, Sand Cereals, Gravel, Coffee, Fertiliser, Flour, Mortar, Tobacco, Woodchips, Chemicals and etc.
|
HOW THEY WORK:
With the Bevcon Aerobelt conveyor, the belt is carried on a film of low pressure air within a trough. The air is supplied by a fan which discharges the air into a plenum underneath the belt. Air then escapes the plenum through a series of holes in the trough beneath the belt, thereby supporting it on a film of air.

| COMPARISION - AIR BELT TO TYPICAL ROLLER BELT CONVEYOR SYSTEMS |
Bevcon-Aerobelt can transport a material such as coal, with an angle of inclination of up to 25 degree. On a traditional conveyor 16 degree angle of inclination would result in the product rolling down the belt. The increased angle of inclination requires less space, reduces the belt length and so increases economy. The angle of inclination depends on the different material features. |
|
| With its air cushioned belt the Bevcon-Aerobelt? reverses the direction of feed with ease. |
| REDUCE COST |
Bevcon-Aerobelt conveyors are almost friction free, because there are few moving parts. Lower friction reduces the energy that is needed to keep the belt in motion. A 90 m long Bevcon-Aerobelt conveyor can be driven by a 3 kW motor.
Less Maintenance reduces the need for walkways.
By reducing the number of moving parts to a minimum, much of the disturbances, caused by those parts, such as build up of material on rollers, roller bearing seizure or failure, is eliminated.
Because of its simple construction and with head and tail sections being preassembled at the Sluis works, the assembly on site is much easier, therefore bringing forward commissioning and start up. |
