Air film technology is not new for SI-Glass. Solving's products have been in use for a long time, and they have now invested in a modern Solving transporter for moving glass on special racks. The racks are loaded on an air film transporter into autoclaves for hardening and then on to the production line.

Madreperla S.p.A. has also chosen air bearings for handling their acrylic plastic sheets, used in the manufacture of Jacuzzis and other products.

The sheets are taken from the production line and automatically placed into specially designed racks. The racks are transported by an air film transporter into ovens for hardening and out again for further treatment.

Due to the limited room available in which to position the plastic sheets, exceptional flexibility and manoeuvrability were required. It was therefore natural for Madreperla to choose the Solving air film alternative.
