Media Options
Fuller® Airslide™ System Operation
• Air-activated gravity conveyor
• Fluidization of material on the Airslide media
• Fluidization reduces the angle of repose causing
flow.
• Example: A material with a normal angle repose
of 45º with fluidization may flow like a liquid on a
5º to 6º slope
Fluidized material
chamber
Economical, energy-efficient
Fuller® Airslide™ Conveying
AIRSLIDE ™ CONVEYING TECHNOLOGY
The Free Power of Gravity
• Engineered systems
• Single source
responsibility
• Global service and
technology support
• Reliable designs
based upon
experience
FLSmidth’s Airslide™ Air Gravity Conveying
System uses the forces of gravity to do most of
the work without any moving parts. Material
is fluidized through a porous media with low
pressure air. Material flow is achieved by
sloping the Airslide conveyor to match the
fluidized angle of repose of the powdered
material. At the correct slope, fluidized
materials flow with the consistency of a liquid.
Airslide Air Gravity systems provide highcapacity material handling while offering
many economical and environmental
advantages. Energy requirements are minimal
because only a small volume of air at a low
pressure is required to move material. Since
the system is installed overhead, valuable
floor space and added headroom are
available for other purposes. By eliminating
the need for massive support members,
it permits a flexibility of plant design not
available with straight-line conveyors.
The Airslide conveyor is dust tight.
As a result, the system is extremely
friendly to the environment.
Noise level is extremely low in the area
surrounding the Airslide conveyor
as the system’s air supply is the only
moving part to generate noise, and
it is generally located in a remotely
insulated area to further reduce noise.
Maintenance of the Airslide conveyor is very
simple because there are no moving parts
other than the air supply equipment, which
also contributes to increased plant safety.
Airslide conveyors require no lubrication.
Typical Airslide™ Conveyor Applications
• Distribution from bucket
elevators to storage silos
• Gathering under baghouses / precipitators
• Feed to process
• Feed to other conveyors
• Loadout from bulk silos to
trucks, railcars or barges
• In-plant conveying
• Storage silo / bin withdrawal
Driving low-pressure, low-velocity air through and between particles of a dry bulk material,
changing its behavior characteristics and making it flow more like a liquid than a solid
45°
All fly ash has a natural angle of repose,
often in excess of 45 degrees.

8°

> 45°
Without any fluidization, the
Airslide™ conveyor would have
to be inclined on an angle
greater than the angle of
repose to establish gravity flow.
A2P™: Airslide™ Conveyor to FK Pump Continuous Conveying System
FLSmidth Airslide Aeration Unit Packages are supplied for
installation as aeration units on the sloped conical bottoms of
bins and silos to aid in the withdrawal of dry, relatively freeflowing material.
FLSmidth’s Airslide Conveyor is a main component in the
A2P Continuous Conveying system.
• Nearly maintenance-free
• Capital cost reduced by as much as 50%
• Continuous product removal from collection hoppers
• Only two moving pieces between collection hopper
and storage
• Continuous conveying to storage
Aerated bin bottom
• Withdrawal of dry, free-flowing materials
• For bins and silos
• Three or six spoke configurations
• Replaces vibrating bin activators
• No fatigue-inducing forces imparted into vessel
• Aerated bin bottoms

Airslide Conveyor Gathering for Dust Collectors
Airslide System Recirculation: SO2 Mitigation - Circulating Dry Scrubbers
• Low maintenance
- No moving parts
- Minimal fabric wear (change out required every 5-10 years)
• Low noise level - blower noise only
• Clean
• Operates smoothly regardless of downstream equipment rate
For pebble lime and limestone (unloading, conveying and injection)
Most new plants will be designed with some form of SO2 mitigation in the form of wet or dry scrubbers.
Such scrubbers are also being
retrofitted on existing plants for (a)
environmental compliance and (b) to
allow for the switch to less expensive
high sulphur coals.
With fluidization,
gravity flow can
be achieved at a
greatly reduced
slope of 8 degrees or less.

Standard FLSmidth Airslide systems
can be employed for all of these
lime-based handling applications. Specialized “circulating dry scrubbers (CDS)” all employ FLSmidth Airslide
technology.

Porous
membrane
fabric
High capacity, high performance
Media Options
Fuller® Airslide™ System Operation
• Air-activated gravity conveyor
• Fluidization of material on the Airslide media
• Fluidization reduces the angle of repose causing
flow.
• Example: A material with a normal angle repose
of 45º with fluidization may flow like a liquid on a
5º to 6º slope

Economical, energy-efficient
Fuller® Airslide™ Conveying
Fuller® Airslide™ Conveying Technology
Fluidized Gravity Conveying Systems
Designed for dependability.
Proven to perform.
Manufacturing Standards
• Heavy-gauge steel sections with bent flanges
• Airslide conveyors are shipped in standard section
lengths of 3 meters
• Standard widths of fluidized area is 4” up to 34”
(100 to 850mm)
• Bolted airtight construction
• Optional media available for high temperature
and highly abrasive materials
• There is no conveying length limitation to the
Airslide conveyor based upon availability of
Low pressure
air chamber
(.5 - 5.0 psi, or 35 - 345 mbar)
headroom and proper slope.
Proprietary Airslide Fabric
• Proprietary weave designed for air gravity
conveyors
• Even permeability over the entire length of fabric
- requires only one air connection every 100 feet
(30 meters)
- no “dead” zones
Airslide™ Conveying Multiple Inlet to
Multiple Outlets
• Flexibility
- No additional conveyors needed to change
directions
• Single Power Source
- One blower or fan is sufficient for system
• High Capacity / Long Distance
- Conveying volumes up to 1,500 cubic meters
(56,000 cu. ft.) and conveying distances in the
100’s of feet/meters
