Keeping It Simple
In our continuing effort to offer our clients the latest technology at the best value, we introduce the HoverTube™.
Our latest model of air supported belt conveyors (asbc), the HoverTube™ was designed to provide the most maintenance free form of bulk material handling, while lowering initial capital investment. The HoverTube™ can span greater unsupported distances and can be assembled more easily.The same principles and features of the HoverGlide™ are utilized in the HoverTube™ including air supported carrying and return sides.
All of the benefits are included and the overall cost is less. The HoverTube™ can handle most forms of dry bulk materials. There are no limitations on length, load or capacity. The HoverTube™ is designed for indoor and outdoor applications and is manufactured in a wide range of materials and finishes. More than 30 years of experience in bulk materials handling have gone into the design of the HoverTube™ and HoverGlide™.
- Belt widths from 24" – 72” (600 to 1800mm)
- Variable frequency fan and conveyor drives
- Slow speed or “creep” drives for cold weather operation
- Belt scales
- Sampling systems
- Metal detectors
- Fire suppression, heat detection systems
- Multiple load points
- Explosion relief panels/explosion suppression systems
- Installation supervision
- Both the carrying and return sides are completely enclosed
- Both the carrying and return sides are supported on a cushion (film) of air
- Eliminates friction between tail and discharge
- Eliminates all moving parts between tail and discharge pulleys
- Increases belt life, lowers belt tensions
- Reduces dust emissions
- Eliminate spills
- Reduce conveyor maintenance by 75–90%
- Inherent cross section of conveyor enables support spacing to be every 60–100 feet. Longer spans-fewer supports
- Reduces conveyor support steel
- Eliminates walkways, galleries and trusses
- No moving parts between tail and discharge means there is no need for a walkway
- Use CEMA (Conveyor Equipment Manufacturers Association) Standards for belt widths, transition distances, edge distances, pulley traction, starting characteristics and friction factors
- Standard 45 degree trough provides 10–15% more carrying capacity
- Conveyors are shipped pre-assembled in 39’-8” lengths
- Simpler, faster installation
- Product separation and degradation is curtailed
- CAD generated engineering drawings
- 19’-10” (6045mm) conveyor modules
- 39’-8” (12090mm), shop assembled shipping lengths
- Completely assembled discharge enclosures up to 42” wide (1060mm) , assemblies for larger conveyors
- SP-6 steel preparation with choices of paint applications
- Two, three or four stage belt cleaning systems
- Starting under fully loaded conditions
- Impeccable follow up
