For Heavy industrial moves

SOLVING's Material Handling Systems, based on Air Film Technology, are Revolutionary.

The System is flexible and environmentally safe. It makes no noise and discharges no exhaust gas, the driving power being air. Air bearing transporters are safe and easy to control, they require practically no maintenance and eliminate floor wear.

Flexible System

Industries have varying transport needs. SOLVING air bearing systems are designed to fulfill the requirements of each customer. In order to keep costs low, we have developed a flexible system based on standard components.

The key component

The Air Bearing Element is the key component in an air bearing system. We develop and manufacture our elements, which consist of a unique, reinforced rubber membrane vulcanized to an aluminum anodized backing plate. The SOLVING Air Bearing Element has low friction, high durability and high chemical strength. In the manufacturing process, International quality standards are followed.

Standard Component

SOLVING's Air Bearing systems are assembled from tested standard components. For the customer this means safety, reliable deliveries and low cost. Our standard components are:

Air Bearing Element: Also known as an Air Caster; Available in different sizes from 8" to 60" diameter, with capacities from 500 lbs -to- 90,000 lbs. per element. The leader in the field when it comes to the physical size -vs- capacity ratio. (See chart below)

Drive Unit: Consists of an air or electric motor that drives the air film transporter with an adjustable speed by means of a friction wheel. Various steering and turning options are available as well as fully automated guided systems.

Control System: The system regulates the air pressure and flow to the air bearing elements and drive units. Manual, remote-control or automatic with many safety oriented capabilities and functions available.
