Cohesive materials conveying.


An aero-mechanical conveyor is said to be one of the best ways to convey cohesive powder with little or no degradation and equipment problems. The conveyor system works by fluidizing the material in an air stream. Common materials conveyed include carbon black and titanium dioxide. This fluidization Fluidization

Multiple configurations including conveyor distance and angles are available. The system is said to be very efficient and does not require any outside air supply or large motors.
