Blowers

When a belt conveyor won't fit, air can do the carrying. Blower systems move PET, HDPE, tin cans, and plastic film through tight spaces, multiple turns, and changes in elevation.

Blowers can sometimes be used to convey material instead of a belt conveyor. This can be useful in tight spaces, or if multiple turns and changes in elevation are needed to get the material where it needs to go.

Where a Blower Beats a Belt

A belt conveyor needs a straight run and room for its frame and supports. In a crowded layout, or when material has to make several turns and climb on its way to its destination, a blower tube can follow routing a belt conveyor can't.

Materials and Applications

Remcon has incorporated blowers in systems for conveying PET, HDPE, tin cans, plastic film, and other materials into hoppers or storage bins.

Tubing and Heavy-Duty Custom Hangers

We have also provided and installed the tubing and heavy-duty custom hangers as needed, in difficult areas where "off-the-shelf" parts would not work. If your building's structure fights the routing, we fabricate the supports that make it work.
