Air Slides Conveyor Design

Inspection openings at upper channel are required, at least one per section. At material feed points, cloth shall be covered by metal screen, wire mesh or similar. Upper compartment shall be of high top design !i.e. height is larger than width" to ensure proper material flow and evacuation of conveying air. #langed dust air ta$e off shall e%clusively be at discharge end of the air slide conveyor. Air slides longer than &' m shall be equipped with intermediate venting of conveying air including a dedusting unit. Clean out ports on the air chamber shall be located ahead of the discharge point and ahead of any distribution(turn pots and diversion gates. Air pipes with throttle valve on each inlet shall be provided !air inlet lateral or from bottom with deflector plates". Air permeability of the fabric shall be appro%imately 1&' m )(m*h at )' mbar. Depending on bul$ material characteristics, the air quantity may deviate from this figure. Type of Material Cement ,aw meal ,aw meal separator grits #ilter dust Table 3: 1.1.*
