An air conveyor is a sophisticated and efficient system used for the pneumatic conveying of products, especially lightweight items such as empty plastic bottles, cans, and similar containers, within manufacturing, packaging, and distribution facilities. Unlike traditional mechanical conveyors that rely on belts or chains, air conveyors use a stream of air to move items along the desired path. Here's a closer look at the key characteristics and benefits of air conveyors
How It Works
Principle
Air conveyors operate by creating a high-velocity air stream through which objects are suspended and propelled along a specific route. This can be achieved through various means, such as fans, blowers, or compressed air jets.
Design
They typically consist of a series of ducts or tubes, which can be straight or curved, allowing for flexible layout designs that can navigate around obstacles and through different areas of a facility.
Air Management
The system carefully manages the airflow to ensure efficient movement of items, minimizing friction and resistance to maintain speed and direction.
