Recens® Enclosed Air Supported Belt Conveyor

Applications

The Recens® Enclosed Air Supported Belt Conveyor carries bulk material on a belt that rides on a film of air instead of on rollers. A centrifugal fan pushes air into the air chamber below the belt; the air escapes through the chamber channels and lifts the belt, so the belt and its load float with almost no metal-to-metal contact. Because the belt is fully enclosed, dust stays inside the housing and the material is protected from rain and wind. Fewer moving parts means fewer bearings to grease, lower friction, lower power draw and a much quieter conveyor — which is why air supported conveyors are the standard choice for high-capacity grain handling at depots and port terminals.

Key Features

• Belt floats on an air film — no rollers, no idler replacement, very few bearings to maintain

• Recens® self-circulation air supply system keeps the air chamber closed, so dust does not escape and the fan does not pull contaminated air from the building

• Recens® multi-point tripper developed specifically for the air cushion system, so material can be discharged at intermediate points along the conveyor

• Fully enclosed housing in sealed, integrated sections — weatherproof and dust-tight for outdoor installation

• New welding technology gives a tight seal and a rustproofed surface, extending service life in coastal and humid climates

• Automatic dust removal scraper device keeps the air chamber and belt clean and holds dust emission down

• Low noise and low power consumption compared with a conventional roller conveyor of the same capacity

• Speed protection, belt alignment monitoring and emergency stop available to protect the belt and the structure

Grain depots, silos and port grain terminals — the main application

Flour, semolina and feed mills

Fertilizer plants and bulk fertilizer terminals

Chemical plants handling granular or powdery products

Coal, power generation, mining and metallurgy

Conveyors are configured to each project. Send us your material, capacity and route so we can size the belt and the air system for you.

Why Recens

Recens has built conveying, bagging and palletizing systems for grain, port, fertilizer and chemical plants for more than two decades. Air supported conveyors are engineered to the site route and capacity rather than picked from a catalogue — and Recens is also an OEM source of conveyor parts, so a spare section or a replacement fan is never a problem years after commissioning.
