Floveyor (aero-mechanical conveyors

Gough Engineering is the UK’s Floveyor partner for aero-mechanical conveying solutions. Floveyor first invented the aero-mechanical conveyor in 1958. There have been many lesser imitations sold over the years but none have been able to match the modern aero-mechanical technology offered by Floveyor.

Introduction

Robust & Fast Transfer

As the UK’s Floveyor partner, Gough Engineering provides completely new systems, replacement of rope assemblies, full 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.

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.

Key advantages of our sieving machine

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:

Footprint

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.

Gentle handling

The gentle transport of materials: suspending product in pockets of air provide surprisingly gentle handling for such a high speed system.

Hygienic options

Minimal residue and easy-to-clean systems: Floveyor aero-mechanical conveyors operate in food processing applications where hygiene is of paramount importance.

Super ergonomics

The Gough Batch Sieve (GBS) is designed and tailored to your operations, keeping health & Safety a priority.

What electrical drive does a Floveyor use?
Yes, Floveyor machines use a single electrical motor drive and be as low as 1.5kW.
Can Floveyor machines have ATEX certification?

Yes, Floveyor carry out ATEX certification depending on your application's specific ATEX requirements and zone ratings.

Does Floveyor need to be fixed unit or can it be mobile?
Depending on the systems, the Floveyor can be used on a mobile support frame with lockable castors.
What speed do the ropes move at?

Typcaclly, the rope moves a speed of 4 m/s.

Does the discs drag and damage the product?

No, the discs and their speed create a vacuum behind the leading disc, protecting the product material from degradation for any free-flowing bulk material. It is pulled therefore, not dragged or pushed through the pipes.
