Industrial Logistics with a Contactless Air Conveyor System

Introduction

Conveyor systems are an indispensable part of industrial logistics. Traditional systems rely on motor-powered belts or gravity-based rollers, which come with their own set of drawbacks. This article delves into a groundbreaking approach that uses a contactless air conveyor to circumvent those issues.

Challenges with Traditional Conveyors

• Limited Speed: Motor speed restricts the movement of goods.
• Costly Components: High costs of motors, belts, and moving parts.
• Maintenance: Regular upkeep is necessary for bearings and rollers.
• Wear and Tear: Due to friction, the longevity of the components is compromised.

The Contactless Air Conveyor: A Solution

We introduce a contactless air conveyor system that resolves these challenges. It uses air pressure to move goods at incredibly high speeds without making physical contact. Here’s how it works:

• Upper Layer: A glossy sheet featuring strategically drilled holes.
• Lower Section: Functions as a compressed air tank.
• Hole Size and Distance: Calculated based on the weight and size of the goods.
• Air Pumps: Specifically chosen pumps inflate the air tank.

Components

• Air Pumps: Generates the required air pressure.
• Holed Sheet: The surface on which goods hover.
• Side Support Rods/Rails: Prevent goods from falling.
• Conveyor Legs: Provide the needed slope for gravity-based movement.
• Pipes and Joints: Infrastructure of the conveyor.
• Base Frame: Holds the entire assembly.

Advantages

• No Contact: Reduces wear and tear significantly.
• Low Maintenance: Fewer moving parts mean less maintenance.
• High Speed: Goods move faster due to the absence of friction.

Conclusion

The contactless air conveyor system offers a modern approach to goods movement, combining the benefits of low maintenance, no contact, and high speed. It is set to revolutionize the way industries think about logistics and goods movement.
