Polyurethane

Moving extremely heavy objects such as for example machines with the power of our Polyurethane Air Casters!

Because we let air escape in a controlled way this makes it possible to move heavy weights with a Polyurethane Air Caster, in a safe and ergonomic way. Air casters is a type of internal transport also known as Air Skate, Air Bearing Caster, Air cushion or Air Bearings. Air casters are extremely suitable for internal transport movements of extremely heavy objects. This is the reason why Air casters have been used for decades within various industries.

There are two pillars that determine the capacity per Air caster; the size of the Air caster combined with the working pressure. Keep in mind that you will always need a minimum of 3 Air casters to ensure stability. However, there are no restrictions in the number of Air casters that can be combined, so you can easily scale up to the desired weight to be moved.

Is a machine or module being moved more often? Then it can make sense to mount Air casters permanently under the machine or module. Aerofilm Polyurethane Air casters have been a proven technology for this for decades. Our Air casters are ideal for fixed mounting under a machine, module, or other weight. This is due to its wear-free character and low air consumption. They are designed for very intensive use and can be used 24/7. When used correctly, the casters can last for years.

To explain the technology, we often refer to air hockey or a Hovercraft. Once the object is floating on a thin layer of air it can easily be moved. The higher the working pressure in the Torus shaped membrane, the higher the capacity of the Air caster. The volume of air needed to move the object is determined by the type of Air caster and the quality of the ground.

Benefits of Air Casters

– Economical. Cost effective solutions compared to other internal logistics options.
– Safe. Due to the high degree of control over the object to be moved with extremely high weights.
– Ergonomic. The air reduces friction so relatively little force is required.
– Accurate. Movements of extreme high weights is no obstacle.
– No damage to the floor. Damages occurs due to contact of object with the floor, air prevents this contact when used correctly.
