Floors that are air tight, smooth and even present good conditions for the proper functioning of air cushion transport systems. The floor can temporarily be made suitable for metal or plastic plates. An unsuitable floor should be repaired parting the area where the air cushion will flow.

Less suitable floors cause a higher use of air, friction, and wear. If the conditions are not good enough, the system will not function properly.

AIR
Air cushion transport functions through a continuous flow of air between the air cushion, the floor, and the thin layer of air. A sufficient amount of compressed air is needed. Almost every installation has been equipped with a manometer in order to provide a constant monitoring on the supply of air. The air supply should be steady and high enough to guarantee an optimal functioning of the system. Insufficient air supply will result in higher friction, more wear, and an interrupted work flow.
