Carbon Black Transfer, be it in powder or prill form, presents a number of challenges that are uniquely addressed by the Aero-Mechanical Conveyor. The obvious major concerns are cleanliness of the environment and the avoidance of product degradation during transfer. Aero-Mechanical conveyors are completely enclosed and do not pressurize during transfer. This keeps the dust where it should be - inside the conveyor. When coupled to specially designed 'Glove Box' type bag Dump Stations or Bulk Bag Unloaders, transfer is achieved without spillage. Additionally, because the aero-mechanical conveyor velocity is typically 750ft/min and partially fluidizes the pocket of material during transfer, it does not suffer from the impact damage associated with lean phase pneumatic conveying. Finally, the disc and cable assembly that is the mechanism for conveying acts as a barrier to product segregation.		Bag Dump Station & Conveyor for Carbon Black with Glove Box Design BDS.

Flexibility

The key to modern production and the ever demanding customer requirements. This is particularly true when it comes to Carbon Black pigment. Suited to multiple inlet and outlet conveyors, Bulk Bag/Bag Dump Stations and Pre-Staging of batches the system gives total flexibility, high accuracy of ingredients and a very fast loading time.

Versatility

Not only the ability to handle a wide variety of raw material sources but also the ability to fit the conveying system within the constraints of the factory. Aerocon conveyors can be adapted to fit in most spaces!

Dust Tight

Whenever Carbon Black is transferred the issues of cleanliness and leakage are present. Aerocon conveyors DO NOT pump air or pressurize. They simply displace the pocket of material allowing air to pass each disc as it travels. No filter is needed at the receiving hopper since displaced air returns along the empty leg of the conveyor. This keeps the conveyor dust tight

Speed of Loading

Using a number of loading stations is the key to rapid mixer loading. Each Aero-Mechanical Conveyor is capable of conveying at rates up to 20ft3/min. Conveying rate is just one factor, product flow is also critical. Flow Aids and good design achieve minimal mixer waiting time in practical applications where all factors are taken into account.

Accuracy of Batch.

Either by the use of pre-staging or a loss-in-weight auger assisted batch control system, the accuracy of batch YOU require can be addressed and achieved in these simple systems. PLC based controls suitable for explosive atmospheres are normal.
