Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses advancements in drying and blow-off operations using WindJet® Air Products, emphasizing cost savings and efficiency improvements by reducing or eliminating compressed air usage.
Blower Air Products
  • WindJet Air Knife Packages: Utilize blower air to eliminate compressed air, reduce noise, and simplify installation. Suitable for applications needing velocity over impact, large areas, or heated air.
  • Regenerative Blowers: Durable and low-maintenance, these blowers recycle air using a regenerative principle, offering performance similar to multi-stage blowers.
Compressed Air Products
  • WindJet Air Nozzles: Convert low-pressure air into high-velocity streams, reducing air consumption and noise compared to open pipes. Effective for moving materials and cleaning, drying, and cooling parts.
Performance and Specifications
Detailed specifications for blower assemblies include power ratings, air flow, and pressure data, along with dimensions and mounting instructions.
Accessories
Accessories such as mounting brackets, flexible tubing, couplings, and manifolds enhance air knife packages. Noise reduction options are also available.
Conclusion
WindJet® Air Products provide efficient drying and blow-off solutions with significant cost savings and operational benefits, supported by comprehensive product specifications and accessories.
Overview
The document analyzes WindJet air products, focusing on air nozzles, low flow air knives, and variable air amplifiers, highlighting specifications, benefits, and performance data with an emphasis on noise reduction, efficiency, and safety improvements.
Specifications
WindJet air nozzles and air knives significantly reduce noise levels compared to open pipes, with air nozzles at 85 dBa and low flow air knives under 70 dBa. Air knives use 92% less air than traditional methods, and variable air amplifiers offer up to 90% air consumption reduction.
Procedures and Applications
WindJet products are ideal for drying and blow-off applications, especially in confined spaces where temperature increases are not tolerated. Low flow air knives suit small areas, while variable air amplifiers are for spot drying and robotic applications.
Performance Data
Includes tables comparing air consumption and cost savings between open pipes and WindJet products, with a 3-inch WindJet low flow air knife saving up to $6,544 annually in air costs.
Materials and Construction
WindJet products are available in materials like aluminum, stainless steel, and ABS plastic to withstand various operating temperatures and pressures.
Benefits
Key benefits include efficient air use, high velocity and uniform air flow, low noise levels, and ease of installation and maintenance. Products are maintenance-free with no moving parts, ensuring long-term reliability.
Recommendations
WindJet products are recommended for applications requiring efficient air flow and noise reduction, with specific models suggested based on application needs.
Specifications and Features
  • Pressure Gauges: Models 26383 and 26385 offer stable readings up to 300 psi with various inlet connections.
  • Air Line Filter: Model 11438 removes contaminants from air lines, protecting equipment with a maximum pressure of 150 psi.
  • 2-Way Solenoid Valve: Suitable for systems requiring on/off flow, with temperature ranges from 40°F to 165°F.
Performance Data
  • Adjustable Ball Fitting: Model 36275 allows precise nozzle positioning with a maximum pressure of 300 psi.
  • Air Pressure Regulator: Model 11438 is a diaphragm-type regulator that relieves excessive pressure in air lines.
Optimization Tips for Air Nozzles
  • Specify the lowest-flow nozzle to minimize air consumption and noise.
  • Increase the distance between the nozzle and target to reduce noise.
  • Position nozzles to swipe sideways across a moving target at a shallow angle.
  • Use a filter/separator to remove excess oil and water before the nozzles.
  • Install adjustable ball joints for accurate nozzle orientation adjustment.

OVERVIEW: WINDJET LOW FLOW AIR KNIVES When space is limited and the process cannot tolerate any increase in temperature, WindJet low flow compressed air knives are an excellent option. High velocity, uniform air flows across the entire length of the knife. Drying and blow-off are fast and efficient and minimal air is used. Compared to a 3” (8 cm) pipe with three drilled holes, a 3” (8 cm) WindJet low flow air knife will use approximately 92% less air. Noise level is under 70 dBa in many applications – lower than many compressed air options. Designed for small areas, low flow air knives are typically...
