AIR SLIDE FIBER

BWF AirslideTec - High quality air slide fabric.

Optimal solution for dry powder transportation.

BWF AirslideTec's quality needle felt is the ideal solution for: dry powder transport - in the cement industry, gypsum production, transport of aluminum powder, fly ash handling in coal-fired power plants and for transporting bulk powdered goods.

Crafted with a smooth and uniform pore structure, the BWF AirslideTec quality Air slide fabric is designed to deliver consistent airflow throughout the product's operating life. BWF AirslideTec felts ensure lower operating costs, less downtime and a more efficient installation process.

 

Advantages of BWF AirslideTec Air slide fabric:

  • Consistency of air flow: Even air permeability helps particles move smoothy and operating life is longer.
  • Anti-fray: No need for heat sealing after cutting and at perforated holes. Will not fray if the surface is damaged during operation.
  • Resistance to stretching: No need to stretch before installation.
  • Open hole structure: Thousands of very small and uniform pores, along with a very flat surface provide uniform air flow and do not allow dust particles to penetrate.
  • No air leakage: Flat and uniform structure provides better sealing. The smooth surface allows for a better seal, ensuring no air leakage.
  • Ability to weld head-to-head and heat weld: Flat, smooth, non-fraying structure helps needle felt technology trough fabrics to be welded one after another to meet usage needs, avoid waste, and increase economic value.
