Airglide Conveyors The Robson Airglide Belt Conveyor is a development of the traditional belt conveyor, but instead of carrying idlers it employs a cushion of air, being the means of supporting the loaded belt between the feed and the discharge. The design uses the latest sheet metal fabrication technology with strong but lightweight t h l ith t b t li ht i ht construction. These sections are generally pre-assembled and delivered to site as head, tail, 3m intermediate, and make-up, casings, all designed to bolt together to form the requisite length of conveyor. Each casing section is sealed with self-adhesive sealing tape between the joints to ensure continuity of the air plenum without leaks. The loaded Airglide belt is supported on a cushion of air supplied by the longitudinal air plenum. Air is injected at regular intervals along the "U" shaped bedplate to the underside of the belt, generating a low friction support cushion. A small blower unit supplies the low-pressure filtered air to the plenum, which in most instances is sufficient to s ppl the total belt length supply length. The unique Airglide Conveyor weatherproof design ensures the product is safe from weather degradation and suitable for Open or Tubular Gantries. With lengths in excess of 100 metres. Airglides are available ATEX rated for use in explosive atmospheres and flammable dusts. Category 1 for Dust Zones 20 (Internal) Category 2 for Dust Zones 21 Category 3 for Dust Zones 22 Geo.
