Aeromechanical Conveying

3Sigma provides a wide range of Aeromechanical Conveyors. The AMC is an efficient and low cost method of conveying solids and are an excellent choice for conveying products on a batch or limited basis.

The Aeromechanical Conveyor consists of a series of polymer disks, affixed to an aircraft quality SS wire cable on 6” centers.  This rope assembly rotates at speeds between 200 – 400 FPM, thereby creating a transfer motive, air, which conveys your product.  Material discharges, via centrifugal force, at the outlet.  There is no need for dust collection, as with a pneumatic system, as the air volume is minimal and remains in the AMC housing.  Since the conveyed material is “trapped” within the 6” space of the polymer disks, the AMC is an excellent choice when segregation must be avoided.

It is important to understand that the average rope life is about 2,500 – 4,000 hours.  We always run “break-even” numbers to determine the life expectancy of our rope assembly.

The AMC will properly transfer your ingredients, in its entirety, directly to your mixer. The AMC generally leaves only a dusting (less than a handful) in the bottom housing once the material is conveyed. This can be completely eliminated with special air purged housings.
