Bowling Equipment
How long is a mini bowling lane?
The length of the Mini Bowling Lane is about 13 meters. The fairway board area is about 7.6 meters. And the approach area is about 2.44 meters. The equipment maintenance area behind the lane requires a minimum of 1 meter.
How to maintain the mechanical equipment of a bowling alley?
Fairway boards and equipment require regular maintenance. Fairway boards need to be oiled every half month and cleaned daily to extend their service life. At the same time, the condition of the rope and ball return machine needs to be checked every period of time to ensure the normal operation of the equipment. Specifically, we will give you detailed maintenance manuals and videos to teach you how to maintain.

How much does it cost to build a 2 lane home bowling alley?
Building a 2-lane bowling alley in your home can be a fun and luxurious addition, but it comes with a significant cost. Here's a breakdown of what to expect:
Price range: Expect a ballpark figure of $120,000 to $195,000 [US dollars] for two lanes of traditional ten-pin bowling. This includes lane equipment, installation, and basic functionality for a home setting.
Variations: This cost can be highly influenced by your desired features and customizations. Here are some factors that can push the price higher:
Upgraded equipment: Automatic scoring systems, lane lighting systems, or high-performance lane surfaces will all add to the cost.
Construction considerations: The cost of preparing the space in your home might vary depending on the existing structures, plumbing, and electrical work needed.
Cost to setup a 8 lane bowling business?
This includes bowling lanes, bowling balls, pins, scoring systems, ball return systems, shoes, and other necessary equipment. Purchasing or leasing high-quality equipment is essential for a successful operation.
The total cost can vary greatly depending on factors such as location, size, quality, and additional amenities (such as a restaurant or arcade). On average, setting up an 8-lane bowling business can cost anywhere from several hundred thousand to over a million dollars. It's essential to conduct thorough research and create a detailed business plan to accurately estimate the specific costs of your venture.
Consulting with Flying Bowling experts can provide valuable insights into potential expenses.

How a bowling ball return machine works?
A bowling ball return system uses a combination of gravity, belts, and sometimes lifts to bring your ball back to you after your roll. Here's a breakdown of the typical process:
- 
Ball Exit: After rolling down the lane, the ball exits into a channel at the end. This channel might have a slight incline to help guide the ball towards the return mechanism. 
- 
Transfer Tray: The ball rolls into a shallow tray or trough. This tray might have a diverter at the end to ensure balls from adjacent lanes don't collide. 
- 
Elevator or Incline (optional): In some setups, the ball might be lifted to a higher level before entering the return system. This creates a steeper decline for the ball to travel down, helping it gain momentum. 
- 
Belt Conveyor: The ball reaches a conveyor belt with a textured surface to prevent slipping. This belt carries the ball up an incline. 
- 
Gravity Channel: Once at the top of the incline, the ball is released onto a long, U-shaped channel. Gravity takes over, pulling the ball down through the channel. 
- 
Ball Deflector: At the end of the channel, there might be a deflector that diverts the ball slightly towards your lane. This ensures the ball ends up in the correct return slot. 
- 
Ball Return Tray: The ball finally reaches a tray or cradle positioned in front of your lane, ready for your next roll. 
Here are some additional points to note:
- Modern systems might have sensors to detect the presence of a ball and activate the return mechanism accordingly.
- Some higher-end systems use quieter materials and designs to minimize noise during ball return.
