AIR-BLADE™ AIR KNIFE

AIR-BLADE™ AIR KNIFE

Coated Aluminum and Stainless Steel Air-Blades can reduce noise levels up to 10%and air consumption from 40% to 90% by replacing drilled pipe & open jets. Reduce both compressed air consumption and noise levels with the easy to mount and maintain Air-Blade™ Air Knife. The Air-Blade™ Air Knife produces a “laminar” flow of air along its length using the ”Coanda” effect which “entrains” a large volumeof air from the surrounding area along with the small amount of compressed air from the Air-Blade™ Air Knife to produce and outputflow up to 30 times.Payback on compressed air savings can be as soon as a few weeks in some applications. Typical applications replace drilled pipe, or rows of nozzles used for blow-off, cleaning, drying or cooling. Automotive: Remove water, coolant, dust, and scrap in parts manufacturing and in assembly operations. Can be used to cool parts. Bottling: Blow off of water prior to labeling, palletizing or packaging. Moving light materials. Open and close packaging lids or tops. Chemicals: Blow off of chemicals or water prior to labeling or packaging as with bottling operations. Food: Remove water from product or packaging. Control application of some materials to the food product such as sugar, icing etc.Open pouches in bagging operations. Dry food. General Manufacturing: Part ejection, air curtain barrier, dust and liquid blow off from all types of parts. Ideal for replacing fans insome cooling operations. Metals: Coolant and other liquid removal on process lines from Aluminum, Steel, Brass or other materials. Dry metals prior to otheroperations such as plating or polishing. Cool metal parts prior to coating or painting. Paper & Lumber: Paper dust removal and control. Dust removal from plywood and panel board. Plastic: Dust and scrap blow off. Cool off molten plastic in dip molding. Printing: Cooling to set some inks, scrap blow off, hold down labels prior to printing, cool adhesives to allow faster speeds in labelapplications and binding operations. Pharmaceutical: Remove liquid prior to labeling or packaging waste removal from solid materials. Textile: Cleaning and drying of cloth or other materials.

Features Benefits
