aeromechanical conveyor

The aeromechanical conveying system is a system composed of rigid pipes. Adding bends in a conveyor must be calculated in advance and any modifications at a later date are expensive.

Another problem that an aeromechanical conveyor may cause is sanitisation: the disc system inside the pipes takes a long time to be disassembled and sanitised.
The nature of the aeromechanical system means that a lot of maintenance and work to carry it out is required.

One of the things to consider when choosing between an aeromechanical conveyor and a pneumatic conveyor is the risk of product damage: the mechanical action required for transport tends to wear and heat the product . On the contrary, with pneumatic conveyors, the material is conveyed in air, minimising contact with any surface and consequently the risk of damage.

The aeromechanical conveyor system is particularly expensive, while the price range of pneumatic conveyors is intermediate and compensated for by the great advantages they bring compared to the aeromechanical system.
