The AirScrape^® functional principle

AirScrape® is a conveyor belt skirting system developed, patented, and manufactured in Germany to meet the highest standards of quality, safety, and environmental protection. With its unique technological solution, it is the world’s first and only air skirting system for conveyor belt operations.

This contact-free Airscape conveyor belt skirting system acts as a highly effective side seal, suspended over the conveyor belts skirting. The innovative diagonal arrangement of hardened lamellae directs air from the outside into the middle of the belt, creating an air suction effect. This enhances dust containment, ensuring fine particles stay within the conveyor section. Additionally, coarse materials that push outward are redirected back to the middle of the belt, significantly decreasing spill and improving efficiency at conveyor transfer points.

The innovative AirScrape® design offers a triple positive effect. This Airscape conveyor belting solution minimizes dust formation and material spillage at transfer points and other critical conveyor sections. Because this belt skirting system hovers freely above the conveyor belt, it eliminates skirt friction and prevents belt damage, thereby extending the service life of every conveyor component.

In industries dealing with heavy material transfer or even specialized applications like scrap air conditioner recycling, AirScrape® delivers an unmatched solution for cleaner and more efficient conveyor operations.

Advantages & benefits

This conveyor belt skirting system works effectively on both large and fine particles
Dust emission and explosion hazards are reduced
Belt damage is eliminated due to absence of skirt contact
Hardened steel blades of this conveyor skirting system reduces skirt wear
Reduced motor power requirement as there is no belt-skirt friction
Vastly prolongs service life due to lack of belt contact
Minimal product loss
AirScrape significantly reduces maintenance and replacement cost
Easy installation, normally using the existing clamping system
This innovative Skirting System works perfect on conveyor transfer points and offers continuous skirting with no gaps
Contributes to health and environmental protection

Comparison of AirScrape^® and conventional side sealing

The image shows the situation at the conveyor transfer point before and after modification with AirScrape^®. In direct comparison the effect of the AirScrape^® is clearly visible. Dust formation and spill can no longer be seen.
