AirScrape, the conveyor skirting comparison

Based on more than 3 decades of know-how in the area of materials handling technology, we have been analyzing critical points in conveyor systems and developing new cost-efficient solutions for improvement and optimization. With this innovation strategy we have been creating unique products like the AirScrape, DustScrape and SpeedScrape. Our new developments are economic and easy to assemble but allow a significant prevention of dust formation, spill and a more careful and efficient belt cleaning at critical sections along the conveyor route and transfer points.

National and international exhibitors present their technologies and solutions for the processing, handling, storage, transport and analysis of powders, granules and bulk solids. Our trade visitors are top decision-makers and buyers searching for specific solutions, and come from processing industries such as mechanical and plant engineering, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, mining, stone and earth extraction, food and feed, metal, glass and recycling. More information you will find in our exhibitor catalogue At the same time, the 6th RECYCLING-TECHNIK Dortmund – Trade show for recycling technologies – will take place.

Transfer points now spillage- and dust free With the innovative AirScrape seal skirting, spills and dust at transfer points in conveyor systems and belt damage are a thing of the past. In the minerals and mining industry, contamination of conveyor systems and dust generation during operation are a well-known problem. Conventional conveyor skirting at belt transfer points can help here, but even friction forces quickly wear them out; they lose their effect and also damage the belt of the conveyor during long-term use. This in turn increases the costs for maintenance or replacement. The AirScrape from ScrapeTec Trading Ltd. is quite different. It represents one of the rare innovations in this industrial sector, is virtually maintenance-free, increases the service life of conveyor belts and permanently saves cleaning efforts. Beyond the chute and conveyor belt, the AirScrape ensures more cleanliness. AirScrape. The operating principle is in the name If you see the AirScrape side seal in use, you can quickly

Sustainable solutions The brands of a well-known, international manufacturer stand for sophisticated surfaces made of stone material in kitchens, bathrooms or on terraces. Searching for a sustainable solution to minimize emission at transferpoints of conveyor systems, the high-quality requirements led the company to the AirScrape® skirting from Germany. The people responsible in the company had already heard and read about this special Conveyorskirting from Germany. Especially in a silicate conveying plant in southern Spain, a transfer was to be equipped with it on a test basis. Here the dust development and the strain on the employees were particularly high. Via the partner Masanes that provides the equipment with conveyor technology, contact was established with the manufacturer Scrapetec and the AirScrape® was installed at the selected transfer. The measurements of the dust development during the first test run showed a minimization of over 80 per cent. The customer was enthusiastic,

At mineral processing 01-02/2017 Conventional skirting is pressed against a conveyor belt so that dust and material stays in the middle of the belt when it reaches a belt transfer point. But after a certain time, wear at the skirting and belt can be so severe that material and dust can escape.The result is unnecessary spillage of material and forma- tion of dust.This used to be the case at Rump & Salzmann Gip- swerk Uehrde GmbH & Co. KG, which operates a dolomite quarry in Uehrde. Here, at the transfer from the rotary crusher to the belt conveyor, there were always big problems with dust and material losses. Several tonnes of material spillage had to be removed at this transfer point every three months. Repeated maintenance was required at the transfer point and the belt skirting. Finally, operations manager at Rump & Salzmann, Uwe Schridde, contacted ScrapeTec. Following an assessment of the situation on site, AirScrape was installed (Fig.). AirScrape works according to a completely new principle,

Global Gypsum Magazine 05/2019: Conveying With the innovative AirScrape side seals, spills and dust at transfer points in conveying systems and belt damages are a thing of the past. In the gypsum industry, contamination of conveyor systems and dust generation during operation are a well-known problem. Conventional side seals at belt transfer points can help, but even friction forces quickly wear them out. This causes them to lose their effect and also damage the belt of the conveyor over the long-term. This, in turn, increases the costs of maintenance and/or replacement. The AirScrape from ScrapeTec Trading Ltd. is different and represents a rare innovation in that it increases the service life of conveyor belts, per- manently saves on cleaning costs and is virtually maintenance-free. Beyond the chute and conveyor belt, the AirScrape ensures high levels of cleanliness. Wilfried Dünnwald, developer and manag- ing partner of ScrapeTec Trading, developed the AirScrape in 2013 due to a specific inquiry from a
