The aero mechanical conveyor is one of the most efficient methods of conveying materials in terms of its dust-free and clean handling properties. This type of conveyor is designed and custom-built for the product to be conveyed and is suited to meet a variety of applications.

Transfer of material takes place in an enclosed tube as it becomes entrained in the moving air-stream created by the high speed movement of disks, attached to a tensioned wire rope, travelling through the tube. In practice, the rope carrying the disks is a continuous loop running around sprockets at each end of a flow and return tube arrangement. One of the sprockets is motor-driven, the other acts as the rope tensioning device.
