Pneumatic belt conveyor for transporting e.g. corn, has pressurized air insufflating unit with pressurized air distribution collector extending along cradle, where unit has conduits connecting collector to distribution orifices
The conveyor has a cradle (2) elongated longitudinally in shape of channel. A movable band (4) is movable with respect to the cradle along a longitudinal direction, where the cradle supports and guides the band. A pressurized air insufflating unit (6) is arranged between the band and the cradle by distribution orifices (8) arranged in the cradle and distributed longitudinally along the cradle. The unit (6) has a distinct and spaced pressurized air distribution collector (20) which extends along the cradle, where the unit has conduits (22) connecting the collector (20) to the orifices.
