CONVEYING & BULK BAG HANDLING SOLUTIONS Aero Mechanical Conveyors for dry bulk solids and ingrdients

Conveying Solutions Aero Mechanical Conveyors FOR DRY BULK SOLIDS AND INGREDIENTS Spiroflow is internationally recognised as a leading name in the provision of conveying solutions for applications associated with dry bulk solids - whether in powder, granule, flake, pellet, lump or whatever form and whether in bulk quantities or as minor additives / ingredients. The company was founded nearly 40 years ago with the Flexible Screw Conveyor as its cornerstone and with which the name Spiroflow has become synonymous. We aim to offer our customers the best solution, we have never believed in the...

The Benefits No dust collection System Because no additional air is added to convey materials in an aero mechanical conveyor, there is no excess air at the outlet from which to filter entrained dust. Any entrained material that is not ejected at the outlet is simply carried round the enclosed System until it is. Low power consumption Kilogram for kilogram conveyed, the aero mechanical conveyor is one of the most efficient. Therefore, keeping power requirements and costs to a minimum. Total transfer We would be deluding ourselves as well as our customers to daim 'total transfer'. Of course,...

More Benefits Oprtes at any angle One of the most significant features of the aero mechanical conveying concept is its ability to convey materials between 0° and 90° without any loss of capacity. Multiple inlets and outlets The concept lends itself to multiple outlets so that one conveyor can deliver material to a series of silos for example. Multiple inlets are possible too provided they are operational one at a time. Goes around corners Aero mechanical conveyors can be supplied in a variety of configurations enabling them to transfer materials vertically and horizontally within the same...

Outstanding Performance Conveys difficult materials Virtually all materials can be conveyed in an aero mechanical conveyor ranging from the finest of powders to granules, pellets, flakes and flocks. We have been particularly successful with Titanium Dioxide which is notoriously difficult. Typical throughputs The table below shows estimated 'Spiroflow' Aero Mechanical Conyeyor rates in tonnes per hour based on continuously metered feed. When feeding from a bag dump, the rate may reduce by 10% - 40% depending on the material flow characteristics. Pharmaceuticals Almost all materials can be...

Construction Construction can be of epoxy painted carbon steel or a grade of stainless steel to suit the application. Conveying ropes are either of carbon or stainless steel with discs of food grade polyurethane. When the headroom is very low, a screw conveyor can be used to deliver material to the chute of the aero mechanical conveyor. Carbon steel contruction. Stainless steel contruction. We are well versed in v)the ATEX/DSEAR regulations relating to the risks of machinery and electrical equipment operating in potentially explosive atmospheres. We have the capabilities to design and...

Applications Consistent performance and operational reliability have endeared aero mechanical conveyors to a broad cross-section of industries. From the seemingly simple task of transferring food ingredients to the conveying of abrasive and corrosive chemicals, aero mechanical conveyors (AMCs) are well equipped to handle most materials with ease. Round the corner AMC feeding chemicals to a mixing vessel. Inclined and horizontal AMCs feeding additives to either of 2 tanks. AMC elevating material from a transition hopper fed by two bulk bag dischargers via spiral conveyors. An AMC...
