Air caster technology: the ideal solution for cleanrooms

Our air casters use compressed air to create a thin layer of air, virtually eliminating friction. This makes it possible to move heavy, sensitive loads smoothly and without damage, even in tight and hygienic areas.

Stainless steel versions of our air casters are especially suitable for cleanroom environments:

  • Less air movement than people walking through a cleanroom
  • Clean compressed air prevents the spread of dust particles
  • Vibration-free conveying protects sensitive equipment such as lithography machines

How do air casters work in cleanrooms?

Our air caster systems are tailored to the specific needs of cleanrooms and include:

  • Air casters – With polyurethane and stainless steel components for clean applications
  • Air control – For precise control of air pressure and capacity
  • Support plates – Ensure stable support and optimum air distribution
  • Clean compressed air supply – Operates with filtered air to prevent contamination

We offer comprehensive engineering support to ensure each system fits your requirements seamlessly.

 

After 20 years of loyal service, it was time for a new modular air caster transport system with an increased capacity of 24 tons. Air casters do not damage the floor and we can position our machines very accurately and with little effort. With an Air caster system we can provide companies that regularly have machines in their factory. moving, recommend using Aerofilm Systems air casters!

FAQ

What materials are used in cleanroom air casters? +

Air casters for cleanrooms are usually made of high-quality, breathable materials such as polyurethane and PVC, which are resistant to chemicals and easy to clean.

How much space is required to integrate the caster into a cleanroom? +

The space required depends on the system, but usually only a small adjustment in the floor or a space of a few inches is needed to integrate the air caster.

Are the casters energy efficient? +

Yes, air caster systems are very energy efficient, as they consume little energy due to low friction and the use of air as the driving force.

How do I determine which type of caster is appropriate for my application? +

The right type of caster is determined by the load, the nature of the object being moved, and space constraints. A specialist can advise which system is the best fit.
