Special Air Bed Conveyor with Pneumatic Actuator of the Nozzle Scheme Forced Induction Method

摘要

This article discusses how to develop a long-range design of the air bed conveyor. The author describes a methodology for calculating the basic parameters of the conveyor. Specifies the criteria for selecting the shape of the transport trough and its dimensions. The rational size of transport troughs and their comparative energy demands estimates have been established. New means have been identified and proposed to reduce air-cushion air flow rate, as well as a new air circulation scheme for air cushion conveyor, which improves the efficiency of the air cushions use.
