A Powderflight aeromechanical conveyor is a bulk material handling solution designed to move powders and other dry bulk materials efficiently through a sealed conveying tube. It uses a continuous wire rope with evenly spaced discs that travel at high speed through the tube, aerating the material and carrying it to the outlet for centrifugal discharge.

Material enters the inlet and is propelled through the conveying tube in an aerated or fluid condition by discs mounted on a continuous wire rope. This cable and disc assembly creates the conveying action, allowing the system to transfer product with high output relative to power and cost.The TipTrak is designed to convey a wide range of bulk materials, including powders, granules, flakes, pellets, and blended products.

The Powderflight conveyor is used for a wide range of material handling applications, including powders, granules, pellets, flakes, prills, and other dry bulk materials. Examples include calcium carbonate, milk powder, wheat flour, starch, titanium dioxide, plastic granules, coffee beans, curry powder, and cement. Material characteristics can affect output, so testing is recommended to confirm performance for a specific product.

Yes. Powderflight aeromechanical conveyors are designed for gentle powder handling and offer minimal attrition of fragile particles. They are also suitable where maintaining blend integrity matters, because the system does not separate blended products during conveyance.

Yes. The Powderflight conveyor can operate at any angle, which gives engineers flexibility when designing a system configuration around available plant space and process flow. This makes it a practical option for layouts that need incline, vertical, horizontal, or combined paths.

Yes. Powderflight is available in multiple configurations, including horizontal and vertical arrangements. This makes it well suited to applications that require horizontal to vertical flow within a compact footprint. Final layout and conveyor length should be matched to the material and the process requirements.

Yes. The Powderflight aeromechanical conveyor is dust-tight, which can help support a cleaner work environment during material transfer. Bag dump hood and dust collection systems are also available for applications with specific health and safety requirements.

No. Powderflight conveyors do not require filtration at discharge. Filters are also not required on the receiving vessel, which can simplify the receiving side of the system in the right application.

Yes. The Powderflight conveyor is self-emptying, which supports dedicated batches. This can be valuable in processes where product changeover and clean transfer are important. An inspection hatch is also available for access to rope tensioning adjustment and cleanout.

Yes. Powderflight aeromechanical conveyors are available in carbon steel or stainless steel construction. This flexibility helps match the conveyor to the material, operating conditions, and application requirements

Yes. Standard or customized in-feed arrangements are available to optimize performance. Optional integral feed screw designs are also available for low-headroom infeed solutions and for consistent feeding of difficult materials. Top or bottom mounted drive positions can also be selected to suit site or process conditions.

Powderflight conveyors are used across a wide range of powder and bulk solids applications. This includes material handling applications in sectors such as food and beverage and chemical processing, along with other dry bulk processing environments. Suitability should always be confirmed based on the specific material and process.
