Aero-mechanical conveying solutions by Floveyor

The original and best aero-mechanical conveyor.

Floveyor first invented the aero-mechanical conveyor in 1958 and is the only company continuing to develop this technology today. There have been many lesser imitations sold over the years, but none that has been able to match the modern aero-mechanical technology offered by Floveyor.

As the UK’s Floveyor partner, Gough Engineering provides new systems, replacement rope assemblies and parts and maintenance services and support. Our aim is to simplify your materials handling with a clean and safe conveying solution.

For an uncomplicated, versatile and economical materials conveying solution, choose a Floveyor.

Conveyor system demo unit available at Gough Engineering

If you want to see a Floveyor in action, like the one shown to the right, Gough Engineering can set up your own on-site demo unit to operationally assess your material’s behaviour.

For certain applications that require product separation or sieving, Gough can provide a combination of equipment. For example, you may need a Floveyor system transferring material up and into a Vibrecon separator to minimise bag handling.

Combinations of Gough equipment, such as this, can reduce manual handling, provide smooth integration of material handling and improve quality assurance processes. This applies to material classification, ranging from small-scale installations to full Big Bag handling systems with screening and transfer capabilities into road tankers or silos. Whatever your requirements, Gough’s in-house design and engineering services, with modern fabrication and manufacturing facilities, will supply the right solution.

Applications benefitting from Floveyor technology

Key advantages of Floveyor conveying systems

Each company using Floveyor technology will have a unique set of needs. However, we understand that the following factors are often some of the most important in maintaining an efficient operation:

Small equipment footprint capable of high throughputs: the system can convey over 100m3/hr of product, using only a few square meters of factory space.
The gentle transport of materials: suspending product in pockets of air provide surprisingly gentle handling for such a high speed system.
Fully enclosed, modular installations: enclosed design gives dust-free operation from an easily assembled modular construction.
Minimal residue and easy-to-clean systems: Floveyor aero-mechanical conveyors operate in food processing applications where hygiene is of paramount importance.

Sophisticated materials conveying equipment

Floveyor equipment is used to convey granules, dry powders, flakes or pellets. An example of efficient engineering, the aero-mechanical conveyors use a compact motor to power an internally circulating rope assembly at high speed. The circulating rope generates pockets of fast-moving air that suspends and conveys the product to the upper housing, where it is discharged via centrifugal force to the desired collection point.

A unique materials handling system, Floveyor fluidising technology is suitable for a number of industry applications.
