Robson manufacture Airglide Conveyors for the Bulk Cement Handling Industry. Designed to be robust and reliable for harsh environments.

The Airglide Belt conveyor is a development of the traditional type, but instead of carrying idlers it employs a cushion of air, being the means of supporting the loaded belt between the feed and the discharge.

The design uses the latest sheet metal fabrication technology with strong but lightweight construction.
These sections are generally pre-assembled and delivered to site as head, tail, 3m intermediate, and make-up, casings, all designed to bolt together to form the requisite length of conveyor.

Each casing section is sealed with self-adhesive sealing tape between the joints to ensure continuity of the air plenum without leaks. The loaded Airglide belt is supported on a cushion of air supplied by the longitudinal air plenum.

Air is injected at regular intervals along the "U" shaped bedplate to the underside of the belt, generating a low friction support cushion. A small blower unit supplies the low-pressure filtered air to the plenum, which in most instances is sufficient to supply the total belt length.

The Airglide Conveyors are often housed in Tubular Gantries. With lengths in excess of 10 metres, the gantries are protected from the elements by plastic coated preformed sheeting.

Other Cement Handling Systems include Screw Conveyor, Belt Conveyor, Bucket Elevator, Vibro Feeders, Vibro Screens, Trough Belt Conveyors, Silo, Bunkers, plus systems for Crushing, Screening or Sizing.

Serving many industries Robson can develop conveyors to meet any need:

Quarry, Mine, Steel, Coal, Sugar, Glass, Cement or Aggregate.
