Transvair Aero-Mechanical Conveyor

The Young Industries Transvair Mechanical Conveyor (TMC) is designed to convey materials (between sub-micron to ½” diameter pellets) from point A to point B with minimal degradation. Each Transvair Mechanical Conveyor is gas/air tight and can be inert-gas-blanketed for combustible powders. Plus, it can convey at any angle with no loss of efficiency and is self-cleaning with very little residual left in the system. If your process requires in-depth cleaning, the TMC can convey water or cleaning liquids with ease.

Application Data

Features & Options

Engineered for efficiency and built to last, the Transvair Mechanical Conveyor boasts a range of standard features that set it apart.

Ideal for conveying fine cohesive powders at any angle, from horizontal to vertical, this innovative, self-cleaning TMC is made up of a cylindrical structure where a continuous cable and evenly spaced discs move at high velocity, generating an airstream that fluidizes the material and smoothly conveys it to the end where it is discharged through centrifugal force.

Rope Assemblies

We use a unique heat-treating process that strengthens rope ferrules, creating an effective and secure locking system for the conveyor discs, and reducing rope stress. The extra-wide ferrules provide greater surface contact with the rope for stability and load distribution.

Young Industries has developed special fixtures and testing equipment ensuring every rope assembly meets our expectations and well-documented quality control standards.

Disc Options
  • Nylon (Various Grades)
  • Polyurethane
  • Carbon Filled Static Dissipating Polyurethane
  • Metal Detectable Nylon
Rope Options
  • Galvanized
  • 300 Series Stainless Steel
  • Plastic Coated
