Vortex is a company we have worked with for many years and have written many blogs about in the past mostly notably for their gates and diverters. This month we would like to highlight two other components we often use in our builds. Vortex Aero-Slide Conveyors and Vortex Loading Spouts.
Also known as an air-gravity conveyor, Vortex Aero-Slider Conveyors are designed to move dry, fine powders and bulk materials using gravity and air. They operate with minimal energy by using aeration to fluidize material and allow it to “flow” on a cushion of air through a slide or trough.
Aero-Slides are typically flat making them ideal for installation in tight spaces such as under bins or hoppers.
The absence of moving parts, make these slides low-maintenance and dependable. Particularly efficient in the transport of fine, dry materials such as cement, fly ash, alumina, and other powdered substances, we often use them when building custom pieces for the cement or mining industry.
Vortex Loading Spouts are another product we use frequently. Their purpose is to load dry bulk materials safely and efficiently from silos or conveyors into trucks, railcars, ships, or other storage containers while also controlling dust emissions.
Vortex Loading Spouts are retractable and adjustable in length to accommodate different container heights. Additionally, they can extend and retract to match the distance from the material source to the container.
Many Vortex loading spouts feature integrated dust control systems. This prevents the release of dust during loading, which is especially important for materials like cement, grains, or chemicals.
Vortex spouts feature an internal cone design that helps to reduce the material velocity thus protecting the spout and reducing dust generation. This component ensures an even better dust seal around the loading container, further reducing environmental hazards.
We most commonly use Vortex Loading Spouts when designing for agriculture, cement, mining. or related food industries.
Widely used in industries such as agriculture (loading grains or fertilizers), cement, mining,
Both Vortex Aero-Slides and Vortex Loading Spouts are designed to improve operational efficiency, reduce dust emissions, and provide low-maintenance solutions for the bulk material handling industry.
