About Air Conveyors

Air conveyors are devices that use airflow to move items or media. There are many different types of products. Examples include vacuum conveyors, pneumatic tube conveyors, and air tables. Vacuum conveyors consist of a perforated belt, vacuum source, nozzles, filters, and tubing. Products are placed flat on the belt to create a seal. Pneumatic tube conveyors or air conveyors use low-pressure air to push or pull a short, closed cylinder through a pipe between origin and destination, usually only one way at a time. There are two basic types of pneumatic tube conveyors: dilute-phase pneumatic conveyors and carrier-system pneumatic conveyors. Air tables are air conveyors that use nozzles or a porous medium to control the flow of air to a perforated table. The air that flows between the moving load and the supporting surface reduces the coefficient of friction and allows operators to rotate and position heavy loads.
