FleetwoodGoldcoWyard reveals new air conveyor

FleetwoodGoldcoWyard has revealed its AMBEC Baseblow air conveyor that utilizes air, along with louver patterns in the air deck, to convey a variety of containers, including metal cans, PET bottles, HDPE bottles, caps, pucks and boxes.

Although each application is unique, metal cans can be typically conveyed at speeds of 2,000 CPM while PET or HDPE bottles typically are transferred at 500 BPM.

The air conveyor requires minimal maintenance as compared to a mechanical conveyor.

It allows containers to remain upright so there are no downed containers, and the lightning-fast gap-makeup capability allows for condensed layouts or increased accumulation.

Optional features include rapid adjust hold-downs, auto-adjust rails for quick changeover, customized louver patterns, and transfers to and from a mechanical conveyor.
