Overview
What is AIRFORM SHIELD?
The AIRFORM SHIELD impact bed is placed under the conveyor belt at the loading point. The loading point is where material falls onto the belt, and dust, spillage and impact damage occur there. Falling material strains the belt and causes it to sag.
AIRFORM SHIELD absorbs the impact of falling material and keeps the belt from sagging. Because the belt does not sag, no gap opens between the belt edge and the skirt sealing, which strengthens the side sealing. The product installs quickly and is low in cost.
When spillage at the loading point is addressed, sealing, belt support and tracking are considered together. AIRFORM SHIELD can therefore be considered together with the AIRFORM SEAL SIDE contactless skirt sealing system and the AIRFORM AXIS 360 belt tracking idler. Belt damage caused by impact is repaired with AIRFORM FILL repair compound.
