A2P™: Airslide® to Pump System
Featured Product from FLSmidth
Unlike other material transfer systems, our A2P™ system stores no material in the precipitator’s collection hopper. As soon as the material falls into the collection hoppers, it is funneled into the Airslide® network that slopes on a slight angle toward a Fuller-Kinyon® pump. All of the hoppers feed the Airslide network continuously and simultaneously for nonstop material transfer. The material residence time from precipitator to storage silo is only a few seconds.
Material continuously discharges from all dust collector hoppers simultaneously, becomes fluidized within the Airslide conveyor and flows rapidly down the slope via gravity. Fluidization air is heated to further ensure proper material flow to the Fuller-Kinyon pump. The pump acts as a "line charger," injecting the material into the pressurized convey pipeline while acting as an airlock between the conditions in the dust collector/Airslide conveyor and the conveying system. The Fuller-Kinyon pump conveying system uses carbon steel straight piping and hard iron sweep fittings. A simple bin vent filter is required at the destination silo to vent the conveying air.
