GRAVITY CONVEYOR

The Air Shoot Gravity Conveyor has been a mainstay in the company's product line because it safely moves dry, fluidizable materials on a low-pressure, air-activated gravity conveyor. Materials ranging from cement, fly ash, and hydrated lime to PVC Resin move through the Air Shoot in a near horizontal plane with little change in elevation — ideal for spaces where minimal vertical height poses equipment and conveying obstacles. After the material dispenses into the Air Shoot, gravity and a supply of blower air transfer it to the next location at a shallow angle of flow. Support grating and a clean air plenum within the conveyor work to provide quality and limit waste.

The Air Shoot features consistent air flow and relatively low maintenance costs — making it an economical form of dry conveying. The system is available in open or closed models and comes with a heavy-duty, 10-gauge carbon steel inlet, chute, and outlet. It can also be supplied in 304 stainless steel or 316 stainless steel when specified. The Air Shoot also is available in 4-in.-wide through 36-in.-wide sizes — custom built, depending on each application. Air Shoot Gravity Conveyors can be used with most dry, fluidizable materials and are compatible with bins, silos, and hoppers. Cyclonaire Corp., (+1) 800-445-0730
