Types Of Air Cushion Machines

‌The types of air cushion machines mainly include the following:

‌Mixed open type‌: This type of air cushion belt conveyor only uses air cushions for support on the conveyor belt of the upper branch, while the lower branch still uses the traditional roller support method. The air chamber is not equipped with a rain cover, so it does not have a sealing function. This design is relatively simple and suitable for occasions where sealing is not required.

‌Mixed sealed type‌: On the basis of the mixed open type, a rain cover is added to the air chamber and sealed. This design combines the characteristics of traditional roller support and air cushion technology. It has the stability of roller support and some advantages of air cushion conveyor. It is suitable for situations with certain requirements for sealing and conveying efficiency.

‌Full air cushion open type‌: This type of air cushion belt conveyor uses air cushions for support on both the upper and lower branches of the conveyor belt, but the air chamber is not equipped with a rain cover. This design simplifies the structure and improves the conveying efficiency, but lacks a sealing function.

‌Full air cushion sealed type‌: On the basis of the full air cushion open type, it adds a rain cover to the air chamber and seals it. This design combines the high efficiency of full air cushion support and the function of sealing and rainproof, and is suitable for occasions with high environmental requirements‌.

These types are mainly divided according to whether the upper and lower branch conveyor belts are both supported by air cushions, and whether the air chamber is equipped with a rain cover and sealed. Each type has its specific application scenarios and advantages, meeting the needs of different industries and environments‌.
