This is an introduction to a conveyance device or transporter. This is a Pneumatic Inflatable Conveyer, hence the name CON-PNEU-FLATE™

The train will consist of five modules, three modules are abutting modules and two modules are propelling modules.

The bladder comes in two sizes to make up the train.
- Inner Bladder
- Outer Bladder

CON-PNEU-FLATE™ TRANSPORTER
CONVEYOR PNEUMATIC INFLATABLE TRANSPORTER

The CON-PNEU-FLATE™ is an inflatable conveyance device that will creep up a vertical passage way or tunnel.

This device is designed to climb perpendicular passage ways or tunnels in unsafe and unstable conditions. The device could be suitable for functions in the mining industry. This device has been developed to assist where it is unsafe and unstable for personnel to enter confined spaces.

If there is a structure that has collapsed, remote controlled devices are available to manoeuvre through the debris and rubble on a horizontal plain but will not be able to climb a vertical passage. It will be possible for the CON-PNEU-FLATE™ device to climb an obtuse incline through a crevice in the debris. This device can be made to climb a vertical shaft such as a chimney stack to do inspection where there is not enough space to build scaffolding.

The device consists of a array of inflatable bladders that are inflated and deflated in a permutation in a concertina motion to drive in a chosen direction. This device is designed to be able to be inserted into a chamber via a reduced orifice.

The array of modules consists of three different size modular bladders. An outer modular bladder, that when inflated, will permute and abut to the wall of the passage way. A propulsion modular bladder and an inner core filler modular bladder.
