As a kind of new-type heavy-tank-type belt conveyor which can realize the large transport capacity, the air cushion belt conveyor can apply air cushion to replace the supporting roller bearing and change the rolling friction of supporting roller belt conveyor into fluid friction, as a result, it has reduced the tractive forces of driving device and the operation resistance of belt conveyor. Meanwhile, when there are the same transport capacity and conveying process, the power consumption is saved for 15-30% than the supporting roller belt conveyor.

 Performance:

1. It has increased 5% loading sectional area, as a result, the transport capacity is increased for 15% and the upward transport energy on the inclined slope is saved for 5%-12%.

2. It has small operation resistance and high stability, what's more, which can prolong the service life of conveyer belt for 3-4 times, and save 80% repairing expenses.

Notes: Therein, the maximum transport capacity Q (its unit: t/h) as specified in the table is calculated when the belt width B and stacking density p of materials are available, and the belt speed V, the inclination factor k, the run stacking angle of materials 0 and the plate trough angle λ are 1.0m/s, 1.0, 25 and 30°respectively.
