Product Information
Woven Fabrics for Pneumatic Conveying
(Airslide Fabrics)
Solid woven fabrics are used as a porous media on pneumatic conveyors and silos to handle powdered or granular materials such as cement, flour, fly ash etc. They are also used to assist the discharge of silos and road/rail trucks used to transport such materials.

There are two main fabrics used in this application for normal conditions, Cotton or Polyester. Both types are of solid woven construction and are porosity tested during manufacture to ensure conformance to the permeability required. Traditional Cotton fabrics have been used for many years in the cement industry, and are still available in a limited number of widths with woven selvedges. Polyester fabrics are not affected by moisture as are the Cotton belts, and are available cut to width with heat sealed edges. Two anti-static grades are also available. For special applications such as high temperature other materials are manufactured using modern hi-tech fibres such as Nomex and Kevlar. All of our Airslide fabrics are available in open rolls, cut to size pads or fabricated shapes such as cones. 500
