HOW
AERO-MECHANICALS WORK
The
AEROMASTER Aero-Mechanical
conveyor is an enclosed tubular conveyor
with a wire rope and discs at equal
intervals, running via a top and bottom
sprocket wheel (see picture below).
The unit runs at high speeds thus
creating an air pocket behind each
disc which conveys the product in
these air pockets and centrifugally
discharges, enabling the conveyor
to run on less powerful motors. This
is because the motor is not taking
the weight of the product.
BENEFITS
One of the many benefits of the Aero
mechanical principle is that by keeping
the product in the air pockets the
product is kept away from the tube
walls thus minimising friction, wear,
degradation and lining. The system
is ideal for handling powders and
granules, wet or dry product, sticky,
abrasive or poor flowing all successfully
handled with the Aero-Mechanical concept.
This means of enclosed conveying also
minimises dust emissions, reduces
product degradation, high throughput
with low power consumption. To that
end the unit successfully handles
sticky products such as Milk Powder,
Tio2 and Carbon Black and abrasive
products such as Sand, Glass and Sugar.

unit can operate at any angle which
can be a great advantage if space is
a problem (i.e. vertical operation)
and with the units available both fixed
or mobile (ideal for tanker loading)
AEROMASTERS offer a very flexible and
versatile means of conveying.
ADVANTAGES
Most conveyors can be fixed or portable
and handle plastic beads and granules,
some conveyors can operated at steep
angles and a few can empty between
products. Unfortunately most conveying
applications, especially in the chemical
and food industry are not straight
forward with certain types of conveyors
causing spillage and wastage of product,
others have separation and filtration
problems whilst some
