The Air Deceleration Unit consists of a stainless steel chute, which is fabricated at an angle so that all the material transfers from the discharge stations to the inlet of the rotary tablet press or capsule filler.
An inflatable membrane manufactured from flexible silicone runs internally through the length of the chute. The silicone membrane is inflated and deflated to control the descent of material to the inlet of the press or capsule filler.
“Layflat” type flexible tube for the product to travel through, which is connected to the outlet of the Active Valve product chute and the inlet of the hopper. The “Layflat” type tube runs down the centre of a permanent rigid chute and its inner silicone membrane.
