Compressed air loaders for material conveying

Efficiently convey diverse materials with minimal operator intervention, using compressed air to streamline production processes and enhance material handling precision.

Conveys and Filters Plastic and Bulk Materials

The AVL Series Compressed Air Loaders from AEC provide a robust solution for conveying plastic pellets, granules, and regrinds using compressed air technology. These loaders employ a venturi system to efficiently draw materials from various containers, seamlessly integrating into your production line. Ideal for the plastics and manufacturing industries, they ensure precise material delivery for applications involving injection molding and powder processing. The self-contained, automated operation minimizes manual handling and maximizes throughput. With low power consumption and a straightforward control assembly, the AVL Series enhances operational efficiency while its versatile configurations cater to different production needs. Durable construction and optional features like sight glass and drum fill systems provide enhanced functionality, while the air filter/regulator combination and capacitive sensor ensure optimal material flow and minimal downtime.

Benefits

  • Enhances operational efficiency with continuous, automated material handling.
  • Reduces labor and operational costs through self-contained design.
  • Minimizes energy consumption with low-power control assemblies.
  • Ensures clean operation by effectively separating fines from material streams.
  • Versatile configuration options meet diverse production line requirements.
