with materials being conveyed
Fully fluidized gentle conveying action
Minimized wear from abrasion
Proven Application Examples:

Alumina
Enlarged detail below
Barytes
Bentonite
Calcined Magnesite

Clay
Fly Ash
Generally, materials passing through 35 mesh US Std. can be conveyed through a Fuller Airslide.
Ground Ores
Phosphates
Precipitator Dust
From Silo
Resins
Silica
Controlled Discharge
Typical Isolation and Flow Control

Valve Arrangement
Drum Roller
Airslide Conveying
Multiple Inlet to Multiple Outlets
Flexibility
No additional conveyors needed to
change directions
Single Power Source

One blower or fan is sufficient for system

TM
Fuller Airslide Manufacturing Standards
Air-activated gravity conveyor
Heavy-gauge steel sections with bent flanges
Fluidization of material on the Airslide media
Airslide conveyors are shipped in standard section

lengths of 12ft (3.65m)
Fluidization reduces the angle of repose

causing flow.
Example: A material with a normal angle repose of
45 with fluidization may flow like a liquid on a 5 to
6 slope.
Standard widths of fluidized area is 4 up to 34

(100 to 850mm)
Bolted airtight flanges
Optional fabric media available to fit the application
There is no conveying length limitation to the
Airslide conveyor based upon availability of
headroom and proper slope.
