What is
Air Slide Fabric?

Air Slide Fabrics are solid woven fabrics and are used in air slides for pneumatic conveying of fine dry products like cements and other raw materials.

We provide Airslide Fabric for conveying bulk material by air gravity. The main use of Airslide Fabric is discharging, declining transportation or homogenizing the powder or small granular material . Our airslide fabric is named as Airslide fabric, Airslide membrane, Air slide cloth, Air slide canvas, Air permeable fabric, and Fluidization cloth, fluidising fabric. We adopt high quality 100% polyester for airslide fabric material.

Air Slide Fabrics are also referred to as Aeroslides, Aeration Pads, Fluxo Channels Fluid or arms, Fluidizing Fabric and Air Permeable Fabric.

  • No moisture absorption
  • No caking
  • Resistant to rotting and decomposition
  • Complete unloading without residues
  • Consistent fluidization over the complete surface
  • Good resistance to abrasion
  • Low wear and therefore longer life

Low shrinkage even when used under hot and humid conditions

Air slide fabric

How its woven?

This air slide fabric requires a special loom, the fabric is sufficiently heavy and strong.

Air Slide fabrics are normally woven from more than one set of warps, While other binder warps are used to interlace through the fabric and thereby hold the entire construction together.

We use high Tenacity Polyester Filament Yarn and follow established process weaving to impart the following properties to Air Slides Fabric :-

  • Superior abrasion resistance
  • Resists blinding
  • Rot and mildew resistant
  • Unaffected by temperature from 30°C to 150°C
  • Thickness of 4mm to 8mm (higher thickness made to order)

how it works?

The absence of moving parts and low power requirements make air gravity conveying the most economical way to convey fine materials over short or long distances.

An Airslide belt is in the middle of a chute. Powder material will come into the chute above Airslide belt. Material will flow to the chute lower side as pneumatic blower down Airslide belt. That's why we say Airslide fabric can move powder material because of the wind power. And then, the rest wind will go out from the top of the chute. Through the moving, no parts moved except powder material. So that it can spare more energy and maintain cost, etc.

For surface aeration of the material in storage tanks of smaller dimensions, fluidization bottoms are used. These are either flat or conical with aeration air supplied below an aeration partition in the shape of a circular board or a cone.Surface aeration elements fluidize the material across its surface. The main functioning member of an aeration element is aeration fabric. Its usual thickness varies between 4 and 8 mm, specific resistance between 2,500 and 16,000 Pa at air flow 400 Nm3/m2h. Aeration fabrics are made of natural or synthetic fibers in accordance to their specific temperature resistance Air flows through the pores in the aeration fabric to the surface and enters the powder material. Hereby, its internal friction is reduced and the material is put in a fluid state thus obtaining properties resembling a liquid.
