Not sure if you mean that you want to design your own or if you just need to spec one for your application.

Here is an example of one company that specializes in them. Many of their systems are in use in the cement industry.

Dear MAX.Please send us the followings-

1. Capacity to be conveyed from air slide.

2. Location of starting and end point.

We will provide you free of cost--

Size and specifications of air slide

Size and specifications of any valve/divertor coming on the way.

Size of fan ect.

If you need fabrication/shop drawings for air slide we can supply you the same also

By the way can you send us the General arrrangement of the proposed system?

For your information we have just finished the detailed report for 60,000 t cement storage and 5 mtpa despatch terminal in Kuwait.

In this we have shown/designed cement despatch by-BULK,IN BAGS(50 KGS) AND IN JUMBO BAGS.

Hi to everyone.

I need that calculations too to design an airslide conveyor.. What are the criterias to calculate 85t/h cement raw conveying airslide?

What is the air needs and dimensions of the conveyor? How will be the filter connections to take unused air from the system?

Does anyone have information about tese subjects? ■

The majority of the technology you are requesting lies with the various suppliers who have developed their relationships either by testing, field experience or a combination of both.

They will logically not be very willng to provide that information only to have someone build their own units. Most of the time, you will need valves. diveter sections, and other components which must match up to the respective cross section dimensions. These often vary from vendor to vendor.

We will very likely be able to offer you a design and specification which will enable you to build the units yourself if you so desire.

Please send all details available to our e-mail address below and I'll be happy to send you a proposal for our services.

Dear Max Tua,

Design and calculation methods for air slides have been published in solids handling literature. Basic principles are the same as those used in fluidization. To get started you can get good information on this subject from the book "Pneumatic Conveying of Solids" by Marcus, Leung, Klinzing, and Rizk. This book should be available in your library. If you need help, you may contact me.

Thank you very much to all who replies to my message. I think it could be same as the fludiziation.I will search for this book. Thanks. ■

Dear Sir,

Our company has been dealing with airslides and other pneumatic conveying systems. We have references for airslides installed at cement plants for cement conveying. We would like to prepare a design of air slide system to you.

Mr. Agarwal,

Thanks you very much! The file you send to me about pneumatic conveying is very useful.

Dears,

we would like to use air slide instead of screw conveyor for conveying raw meal(outlet product of raw mill in cement plant) or for conveying outlet product of bagfilter(dust) of preheater. as I have checked it will be so cheaper!

In this situation would you please answer below questions:

1- is it possible using air slide in this department?

2- max. temperature of dust will be about 240 deg. C,is there any cloth for this situation?what is its characteristic?

thanks

Yes, air slides can be used for those applications.

The material temperature of 240 deg C will require the use of either fiberglass fabric or stainless steel porus cloth such as the trade name "DYNAPORE"

Regards ■

Dear Masoomeh,

I would like answer your questions:

1. Airslide is suitable to convey dust from filter

2. There are materials of fabrics for high temperature till 250 °C like Para-Aramid, Meta-Aramid, Kevlar, Nomex, Twaron etc.

Kind regards

Dear Mr. Agarwal,

would you please send me the soft copy of the design and calculation methods for airslides as what you have stated too?

Kindly e-mail it to amin@momtazan.com ■

Dears,

would you please send me your technical-comercial offer for the following air slide:

1- capacity: 40 t/h

2- material: raw meal of cement plant

3- temperature: max. 200 deg. C

4- conveying length: 22 m

thanks

240°C dust temperature can easily be handled by aeration fabrics made of modern high performance synthetic fiber.

We specialize in manufacturing of high temperature resistant airslide fabrics. These are nonwoven, needlepunched fabric made from KEVLAR fiber. Free samples available.

Dear Mr.Anil,

Air slide can delivery/convey the bulk materials like cement and hydrated lime powder from lower elevation to higher elevation? Please advise it. For our new project i need the design and calculations, can you help me on that? Our requirement are 1;- Transfer capacity 50TPH;Transfer length is 30 mtr, High upwards 3mtr material are hydrated lime poder.2;-Same as above but inline transfer.3;-Same as above but down line 3mtr.Please suggest the size of conveyor and required air pressure.

Thanks,

Yours sincerely,

James Ponraj. ■
