Equipment / Air Shafts and Chucks
Air shafts are fundamental in production processes across industries, efficiently handling materials such as paper, cardboard, and plastic film. The specially designed air shaft system ensures quick and secure fastening, making them indispensable for winding and unwinding tasks. Made from materials like steel and aluminum, air shafts offer both versatility and reliability, and they are available in sizes such as 3 inches and 6 inches to accommodate different material cores.
Material Specifications and Usage:
The material of an air shaft – steel, aluminum, or carbon fiber – is chosen based on specific requirements for weight and durability. Steel shafts are known for their robustness, while aluminum shafts provide a lighter solution for less demanding tasks. This flexibility makes air shafts a preferred choice in various industrial processes where simplicity and efficiency are key.
