Air slide fabric is a device that supports materials and allows air to evenly penetrate and fluidize materials. air slide fabric has the characteristics of good integrity, uniform and stable air permeability, wear resistance, high temperature resistance, no dust return, easy installation, and long service life.
Air slides are used for transporting bulk powders from storage units to pneumatic conveying processing systems so that an easy, convenient, and controllable method can be used to transport the same.
The air slide conveyor uses gravitational forces to move the materials. This material flow is achieved by sloping down the air slide conveyor to match the different angles.
The different types of air slide fabric materials
Air slide fabric manufacturers generally use two common materials for manufacturing air slides. The air slides are manufactured using either polyester or nylon .
These filter fabrics are generally woven with polyester and are used in different industries for filtering purposes.
features of polyester-based air slide fabric
- Air slide fabric allow constant permeability of air.
- Air slide fabric are highly resistant to abrasion, decay, and rots.
- Air slide fabric can be easily cut down into different shapes and sizes and easily fit.
- Air slide fabric are highly resistant to wear and tear and long-term degradation.
- Air slide fabric have high tensile strength.
features of Nylon based air slide fabric
- These materials are air permeable and are hence used in bulks.
- They are commonly used in the chemical, cement, and metal plant industries.
- These native dense phase systems.
- These materials on the filter offer more stretchability compared to polyester.
- These materials used on the filters make the filter light in weight.
Conclusion
Air slide fabric is mainly used in pneumatic conveying equipment for powdered and granular materials in cement industry, aluminum industry, chemical industry, metallurgy, thermal power plants and other industries, such as air chute, homogenization tank, air box pneumatic lifting pump, flow valve, bulk cement warehouse, etc.
