Filquip is provider of new Air slide systems (Also know and air gravity conveyors) to the bulk materials handling industry to meet the custom dimensions for your project.

Air Slides use pressurised air and gravity to move powder products without any moving parts making them ideal for discharging cements and other abrasive building products from Silos and Hoppers with a slight decline angle as low as 1.5 degrees.

The compressed air enters the bottom chamber through inlet ports which then permeates through the Air Slide Matting and fluidises the product conveying it to the outlet.

  • Low energy requirements due to the small volume of air required to move high capacities.
  • Extremely low operating noise level.
  • Installed overhead to save floor space.
  • Minimal maintenance as there are no moving parts.
  • Dust tight casing construction resulting in an environmentally friendly option.
  • No lubrication required
