Synthetic Fiber Air Slide Fabric
Synthetic Fiber Air Slide Fabric is an advanced permeable textile designed for efficient and low-energy pneumatic conveying of powdered materials. Engineered with multi-layer composite construction, it ensures uniform airflow distribution for smooth material fluidization in cement, fly ash, alumina, and other dry powder handling systems.
- Superior Air Permeability
- Enhanced Durability
- Anti-Clogging Design
- Chemical Resistance
- Customizable
Core Functions
Uniform Air Distribution: Ensures even penetration of compressed air through its microporous structure, preventing localized airflow blockages or excessive pressure.
Material Fluidization: Promotes thorough mixing of materials with air, creating a “fluid-like” state to reduce frictional resistance.
Anti-Clogging: Prevents fine particles from entering the fabric pores, maintaining long-term air permeability.
Abrasion & Pressure Resistance: Withstands material weight and air pressure to avoid damage.

| Property | Description |
| Base Material | Synthetic fibers such as polyester (PET), polypropylene (PP), nylon (PA), sometimes with PTFE coating for high-end models. |
| Weaving Process | Multi-layer structure (dense surface + supportive base) or needle-punched non-woven fabric to balance permeability and strength. |
| Pore Size | Typically 10–100 microns, selected based on particle size (finer powders require smaller pores). |
| Temperature Resistance | Standard: -30°C to 120°C; high-temperature versions (e.g., fiberglass + PTFE) can withstand up to 200°C+. |
| Issue | Cause | Solution |
| Reduced Permeability | Dust clogging or fabric aging | Regular reverse air cleaning or switching to anti-clogging models (e.g., PTFE membrane). |
| Localized Damage | Material impact or improper installation | Use multi-layer reinforced fabric with edge protection. |
| Uneven Airflow | Inconsistent pore distribution or excessive pressure drop | Optimize compressor settings or use uniformly woven fabric. |
