Air Knife Solutions for Every Industry >

An air knife in operation > A sheet of moisture laden material passes beneath the outlet of the Air Knife. The curtain of air pushes the approaching liquid back, forming a standing wave. Residual moisture is shattered into tiny droplets which are dispersed by the continuous stream of air. In many manufacturing processes, moisture or particles canbecome deposited on plant or product. These need to be continuously removed quickly and cleanly, but with minimal cost and maintenance requirements. A further complication is that debris often becomes lodged within isolated areas of machinery. > Secomaks...

WHAT IS AN AIR KNIFE? > Air Knives deliver a continuous sheet of precisely controlled high-velocity air for stripping away moisture and debris. To work successfully, they need a reliable supply of low-pressure air. To meet this need, Secomak has developed a unique range of Centrifugal Blowers with performance curves optimised for Air Knife applications. THE POWERSTRIP SYSTEM > Systems are available in modular packages. These range, in their simplest form, from Air Knife/Blower combinations, through to fully-engineered systems with universally adjustable frames for supporting the Air Knives with...

A prerequisite for food and beverage production processes is that both the product and container need to be clean and, in the case of foodstuffs, dry. Hygiene standards also dictate that the product cannot be directly handled.This is where an Air Knife comes into its own: a sheet of dry air is directed at the product, removing all surface debris and moisture, but without compromising product quality or appearance. >

In many industrial processes, removing surface debris or liquid can be a major problem.Our Air Knives have solved a diverse array of industrial problems, such as removing broken glass from conveyor lines or drying and cooling delicate glassine paper. They can be powerful enough to dry vehicles or sensitive enough to dry fine wire.Whatever the application, we have the knowledge and experience to help. >

HOW TO SELECT A SYSTEM SecomakPOWERSTRIP Air Knives are available inlengths to suit the application and there are two cross sectional sizes each having the facility for either air entry at the end or at the rear in a position to suit customers requirements. We manufacture our Air Knives in either extruded aluminium or stainless steel with an adjustable blade that has been designed and developed to give a controlled air exit velocity. The ability to adjust the slot gives greater precision. Secomak Circular Air Knives are used when dryingrods, cables, tubes and extrusions. For situations where...

Secomaks POWERSTRIP bottle drying system is complete with air knives, turbo blower, frame, drip trayand enclosure panels. It has all the equipment you need in one complete package. >

Secomak manufacture an extensive range of Turbo Blowers, High Velocity Fansand Accessories which ensure optimum performance for any Air Knife application. Turbo Blower Turbo Blowers and High Velocity Fans provide an instant source of independent air for POWERSTRIP systems, at a cost far below that of compressed air.The Secomak Turbo Blower has been developed to deliver maximum performance to our Air Knife range. It ensures smooth, pulsation-free air delivery across the whole of the performance curve. Its well-proven drive system ensures virtually maintenance-free operation and, when fitted with...

There are many industrial situations where an Air Knife is ideal for removing particles, but this is complicated bythe particles being attracted to the surface due to static electricity. This problem can be overcome by the addition of an anti static bar at the air exit point. The bar produces ions, which are captured by the airflow from the knife, which impinges on the target surface. This neutralises the static and leaves a clean dust free surface. > Secomak Hot Air equipment provides a continuousstream of clean, dry hot air at up to 600C and is suitable for applications such as drying, curing,...
