Air Slide Fabric is the core component of an air conveyor slotted trough. Made of synthetic fibers or polyester materials, it is installed as a breathable layer between the upper and lower trough housings. Its primary function is to inject compressed air through a high-pressure fan, fluidizing the material so that it slides down the sloped trough under gravity, achieving efficient and sealed powder material transport. It is mainly used in cement plants, power plants, metallurgy, and chemical industries, solving the horizontal or inclined transport of materials such as fly ash and alumina.
Performance Parameters of Air Slide Fabric
Cement Industry: Used for air-slotted trough transport of raw materials and cement powder, improving bottom-bin homogenization efficiency and reducing dust leakage.
1. Stable Operation and Low Maintenance Costs
Because materials remain in a fluidized suspension during conveying, friction and direct contact between the material and the equipment walls are significantly reduced. This greatly minimizes wear and mechanical failures, lowers maintenance frequency and repair expenses, and extends the overall service life of the conveying equipment.
2. Fully Enclosed, Clean, and Environmentally Friendly
Systems utilizing air slide fabric are typically designed with a fully enclosed trough structure. This prevents dusting, leakage, and spillage during conveying, avoiding the dust pollution commonly associated with traditional methods and improving workplace cleanliness and environmental safety.
3. High Conveying Efficiency with Strong Material Adaptability
As the core component of an air conveyor slotted trough, Air Slide Fabric is key to achieving efficient and sealed powder transport. Whether in cement, power, metallurgy, aluminum, or chemical and environmental protection industries, proper selection and installation of Air Slide Fabric can significantly improve transport efficiency, reduce dust emissions, and extend equipment service life.
