Hongrui Machinery's Lifting Air Flotation Table is an innovative material handling solution designed to facilitate the smooth, friction-reduced transfer of flat materials—particularly glass sheets, panels, and boards—between production line stages. Manufactured by Foshan Nanhai Hongrui Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd., a company with over 15 years of experience in conveyor equipment and automation, this air flotation table is engineered to enhance workflow efficiency in glass processing, logistics, and automated production environments.
The system operates by generating a thin layer of air that lifts the workpiece, allowing it to float with minimal resistance. This significantly reduces surface scratches and physical wear during transport, making it ideal for handling delicate or high-value materials.
The air flotation table is equipped with a patented transition assembly featuring extendable plates with rolling mechanisms on both sides of the table. This design effectively bridges the gap between the air flotation table and upstream conveyor equipment.
Benefit: Eliminates material jamming or obstruction caused by gaps between equipment, ensuring a smooth, continuous material flow.
The extension plates are powered by a gear-and-rack adjustment system operated via a rotary drive unit.
Benefit: Operators can easily adjust the extension length to accommodate different upstream equipment layouts, providing exceptional flexibility for various production line configurations.
By utilizing air flotation technology, the table minimizes physical contact between the material and the support surface.
Benefit: Prevents scratches, abrasion, and surface damage to glass, coated panels, or other sensitive flat materials—a critical advantage for high-quality finishing applications.
The smooth, low-friction transport mechanism reduces the force required to move materials across the table.
Benefit: Faster material handling, reduced operator fatigue, and improved overall throughput in automated glass cutting and processing lines.
As a specialist in non-standard automation equipment, Hongrui Machinery offers customization options to match specific production line requirements.
Benefit: The air flotation table can be tailored in size, load capacity, and extension range to integrate seamlessly into existing systems.
Built with durable materials and precision engineering, the table is designed for continuous industrial operation.
Benefit: Long service life, minimal maintenance, and reliable performance even in demanding production environments.
