TransFlow Fluidising Media
Stinger Conveyor
Overview
STINGER Conveyors have been developed to solve the problems of conveying and accurately metering pigments such as TiOČ, carbon black and other cohesive powders and pigments as well as abrasive powders like clays and ceramic products that normally wear out screw conveyors in a very short time.
Design
The STINGER conveyor consists of a solid metal outer tube with one or more inlet transitions, an inner tube and a discharge transition.
The inner tube is lined with Transflow fluidising media which is a porous 316 stainless steel material with an ultra smooth contact surface manufactured for precise permeability and strength. This media produces an evenly distributed layer of low pressure compressed air/gas that floats the bulk material above the media. This boundary layer above the media reduces buildup, friction and wear. This makes it easier for the material to slide by eliminating compaction and drag.
Application
The STINGER screw conveyor can be used to condition and convey sticky and cohesive powdered materials. The Transflow fluidising technology dramatically improves material flow accuracy and reliability in handling materials with poor flow characteristics like TIO2, carbon black and other pigments. The Stinger can also replace screw conveyors handling sugar, flour, and calcium carbonate.
