Abstract

La présente invention a pour objet un appareil et un procédé de flottement de substrat, garantissant un état de flottement du substrat très efficace. Les 10x10=100 orifices d'éjection de gaz sont agencés sous forme de matrice à dimension d’exécution. Les orifices de deuxième et troisième rang horizontal et de huitième et neuvième rang horizontal, au total quatre rangs dans l'agencement, sont ouverts et les orifices des autres rangs sont fermés. Par conséquent, le nombre d'orifices d'éjection d'air est arrêté à 4x10=40. Aux conditions citées précédemment, viennent s’ajouter une alimentation totale en air réglée à 12 l/mn et un même volume d'air distribué dans chaque tuyau. Par conséquent, un même volume d'air de 0,3 l/mn est éjecté de chacun des 40 orifices d'éjection de gaz. Selon les conditions, un aplatissement suffisant est assuré au moment du flottement du substrat et les conditions de flottement d'une position basse de flottement général sont ainsi obtenues. On obtient ainsi les conditions de flottement permettant le transport facile d’un substrat de verre dont l’importante dimension d’exécution est de 300x400x0,7t.
