Curtain Transvectors Air Knives Deliver Flat Sheet of Amplified Air ITW Vortec Curtain Transvector® Air Knives efficiently blowoff wide surfaces of debris as well as provide high speed drying or cooling for a broad range of industrial applications. Ionizing Curtain Transvectors® add a Static Neutralizing Bar to kill static cling and discharge dust and particles for blowoff. Since Curtain Transvectors® are air amplifiers, they use a small amount of compressed air to deliver a powerful, high velocity, laminar sheet of air over wide areas such as moving webs, film, sheets, strips, auto bodies and other large assemblies and objects. Our patented design produces increased thrust and velocity, reduced noise, excellent uniformity, and significantly outperforms any competing, wide blowoff device. Stainless steel models are ideal for food, pharmaceutical, chemical and other applications where purity, high temperatures or corrosive environments are concerned. More Compact and Affordable Than Electric Blowers On an automated fabric cutting machine, a problem-prone, retracting clamp bar was replaced with two #921-24 Curtain Transvectors. The maintenance free air knives hold the fabric in position for slitting and blow away any loose threads. After testing many different products, a sheet metal fabrication plant stamping oil pans for automobile engines determined that a #921-18 Curtain Transvector was ideal for replacing their inefficient, drilled-pipe blowoff. The patented air knife did a superior job of stripping moisture and debris from the pans, while reducing air consumption. A German packaging company increased production rates of their label printing equipment by 34% when a #921-12 Curtain Transvector was installed to speed ink drying. Cooling parts emerging from a powder coating oven had been the problem for a metal finishing firm until they mounted #921-24 Curtain Transvectors on each side of the product to quickly dissipate the heat. Curtain Transvectors®, as well as the Ionizing versions, have numerous and diverse processing, finishing, fabrication, assembly, and other industrial uses for cooling, drying, cleaning or static removal on wide surfaces, including: x x x x x x x x x x x x Food processing Shrink wrapping Clean room procedures Form and fill Films and plastics Textiles Printing and labeling Converting and packaging Woodworking and laminates Paint preparation and drying Sheet and web materials Conveying or hold down High performance patented design Fraction of the cost of fans and blowers No guards or rotating machinery Instant on/off — output air easily regulated Compact and easily mounted No moving parts — maintenance free Quiet — meets OSHA noise specifications
