Aerobelt Design Overview

The Aerobelt is an Air Cushion Belt Conveyor. In this system the belt is carried on a film of air. Air is blown into the Air Box or Plenum under the Conveyor belt by a small fan. One fan is sufficient for over two hundred metres of belt conveyor.

Standard Aerobelt Conveyor Construction

• The number of air holes in the trough, the air pressure and volume depends on the material being transported.
  
  
• Belt widths vary from 300mm to 1800mm. These are detailed further along with nominal design capacities on the Aerobelt Capacities page.
  
  
• Galvanised steel is used as the standard construction material, although many installations have used Stainless Steel for part or almost all components to meet food or corrosive / abrasive environment needs.
  
  
• These design features are detailed further within subsequent Aerobelt Design pages accessible via the menu at the top of the screen.
