​
An aero mechanical conveyor has a tubular design where a cable assembly, with evenly spaced polyurethane discs, move at high speed. The action of the cable assembly traveling at high speed creates an air stream running at the same velocity. As the material is fed into the airstream, it is fluidized and conveyed to the outlet where it is centrifugally ejected.
