Santasalo Gears
The Solving air film system increases production at Santasalo
Ab Solving Oy's air film system is in regular use at Santasalo Gears Oy of Finland, manufacturers of large gearboxes for the wood processing industry, wind power stations and the marine industry.
Two years ago, once relocated into new facilities, Solving's air film system was incorporated into their production; orders were then placed for the first assembly rigs on air bearings and a transport system for moving gearboxes into the paint booths.
The assembly rigs on air bearings enable Santasalo to rotate the gearboxes along the longitudinal axis, providing the best possible accessibility for assembly. The production process would be considerably slower without these rigs.
The risk of injury is almost zero, even when moving gearboxes weighing several tonnes.
