Contact-free AirScrape conveyor belt skirting

摘要

ScrapeTec-Trading have introduced the new contact-free AirScrape conveyor belt skirting system, which is said to significantly reduce material spillage, dust formation and explosion hazards at transfer points and other critical sections in the conveyor chain. Moreover, because the system hovers freely above the conveyor belt, skirt friction and belt damage is eliminated and service life is extended. 'The AirScrape system - which encompasses inward facing, hardened-steel diagonal blades - operates according to a new principle where it hovers 1-2mm above the conveyor belt on the left- and right-hand side. These blades deflect larger particles inwards, while using the air-flow of the conveyor belt and conveyed material to create inward suction of any dust and fine particles back into the product flow,' explained Thorsten Koth, sales director at ScrapeTec-Trading. 'Through these diagonally fitted blades and the speed of the running belt, air is drawn from the outside inwards. As a result, neither the dust nor material can escape.
