See how airslide hose makes powder flow.

A longitudinal V-shaped tank floor slopes down from both ends towards the centre. Air passes through the woven hose face to aerate the powder; gravity assists its movement down the slopes, outside the hoses.

This model illustrates the working principle only.

Ends high, centre low. Flattened hoses follow both slopes of the longitudinal V-shaped tank floor; aerated powder moves towards the central collection area.

Longitudinal section: gravity-assisted flow

The tank's external side profile has raised ends and a low centre. Hoses follow both floor slopes and are secured by clamp bars and bolts. Aerated powder gathers at the central low point.

Hose section: which face is permeable?

Yellow denotes PU coating. Teal highlights the uncoated woven face (normally white on the actual product). The coated face is not shown emitting air.

THE PROCESS01 — 04

01
Fitting connection · Air supply
The insertion-shank outside diameter matches the hose inside diameter. The fitting inserts into the hose mouth; the lumen distributes air, not powder.
02
The woven face releases air
The uncoated textile releases air along the hose. The PU-coated face helps direct this air supply.
03
Powder is aerated outside
As in an airslide, air acts on the surrounding powder and reduces its resistance to flow along the slope.
04
Gravity assists central collection
The height difference assists aerated powder in moving down both slopes to the central discharge area. Actual unloading rate depends on the powder, equipment and air supply.

The hose is the main character.
