1/1/2018 · Air gravity conveyors, ranging in width from 100 to 600 mm, can convey materials over distances of up to 100 m, and are suitable for material flow rates of up to about 3000 tonne/h. In general, most materials in the mean particle size and density ranges from 40 to 500 pm and 1400 to 5000 kg/[m.sub.3], respectively, are the easiest to convey and will flow very well down shallow slopes [2,5].
