TailScrape
The companion to AirScrape
TailScrape is a companion product added to an existing AirScrape unit. Its Venturi-based lamellas create negative pressure in the transfer zone.
- Contactless: no belt damage, no friction wear on the sealing
- Negative pressure: dust and material stay on the belt
- Mounts on AirScrape: can be added to existing lines

Overview
What is TailScrape?
TailScrape is the companion to the AirScrape skirt sealing system. It is mounted on an existing AirScrape unit and closes off the transfer zone, reducing dust and material spillage. TailScrape works on a similar principle to AirScrape.
Its lamella structure is based on the Venturi principle and creates negative pressure in the transfer zone. This negative pressure keeps material and dust from leaving the belt. Incoming air holds dust inside the material flow, while the special lamellas reduce spillage with coarse material. Because TailScrape runs without touching the belt, it needs little maintenance.
TailScrape is available in small, medium and large sizes and is designed to fit the AirScrape variants. With less spillage and dust, the area around the transfer zone stays cleaner and less time goes into clean-up.
Features
Key features
Venturi-based lamellas
The lamella structure creates negative pressure in the transfer zone, which keeps material and dust from leaving the belt.
Contactless operation
TailScrape does not touch the belt, so the belt is not damaged and the sealing does not wear by friction.
Air intake
Incoming air keeps fine material and dust inside the material flow, so less dust spreads from the transfer zone.
Mounts on AirScrape
TailScrape is mounted on an existing AirScrape unit and works together with it, so it can be added later to lines that already use AirScrape.
Three sizes
The small, medium and large sizes are designed to fit the AirScrape variants; the size is chosen to suit the AirScrape unit on the line.
How does it work?
- Mounting on the unitTailScrape is mounted on an existing AirScrape unit.
- Negative pressureThe lamellas create negative pressure in the transfer zone on the Venturi principle.
- Closing the transferIncoming air keeps dust inside the material flow.
Benefits
- Efficient with coarse material and reduced spillage
- Efficient with fine material thanks to the air intake
- Reduced dust generation
- No belt contact, so no belt damage
- Prevents friction wear on the sealing
- Lower maintenance and replacement costs
- Easy installation and short downtime
- Can be added to an existing AirScrape unit
- Supports occupational health and environmental protection, as dust and spillage are reduced
Options
Size options
TailScrape is available in small, medium and large sizes. The sizes are designed to fit the AirScrape variants.
Applications
Transfer zone
TailScrape closes off the transfer zone of the conveyed material and reduces dust and spillage at this point.
Existing AirScrape lines
On lines that already use AirScrape, TailScrape is mounted on the existing unit.
Lines carrying coarse and fine material
TailScrape reduces spillage with coarse material and keeps dust inside the material flow with fine material.
Occupational health and environmental protection
In operations that need to reduce dust emission and spillage, TailScrape supports occupational health and environmental protection.
