Air Ride Belt Conveyor System

Enclosed Air Ride Belt Conveyor System with Plenums for Food Processing Facility

Have you ever tried to move raw sugar over quarter mile as part of a sugar processing facility?  Then throw in the hot, humid tropical environment of Guatemala.  And for good measure, the raw sugar product has a high degree of abrasive qualities.  It’s no wonder the engineering company that designed this system needed a fabrication partner who had the production engineering expertise, as well as experience in the best welding and metalworking techniques that would make this project a success.  We fabricated and shipped out this 1200 ft. enclosed air ride belt pipe conveyor system for a major international food conglomerate whose standards were high and demanded tight tolerances.  The customer handled the on-site installation of the entire conveyor, chute, hopper and transfer components we fabricated.  The project required an exceptional amount of manufacturing engineering to achieve the relatively tight tolerances required. The pipe housing and plenum base were  manufactured of 10 ga. carbon steel supporting 16″ diameter Schedule 40 pipe.  Our engineers designed special fixtures to attach to the ends of each unit so the manufacturing team could have 360* access to all areas of the unit for welding, grinding, drilling, sandblasting and powder coating.
