Streamtek's Regular Air Knife offers a more efficient and eco-friendly way to provide superior quality cleaning, drying, cooling, heating and decontaminating for any application. The Regular Air Knife produces an even laminar flow of air that turns 90 degrees through its entire length at an amplification ratio of 30:1 and air consumption of ~3.4 SCFM per inch at 80 PSIG. Our Air Knives are made from Aluminum or Stainless Steel material. How Does the Regular Air Knife Work? (A) Compressed air flows through an inlet at the end of a port and into a plenum or housing chamber in an Air...

Aluminum: Unit Only Regular Air Knife /w pre-installed .002" Stainless Steel Shim Air Knife FAQs 1. Will the Air Knife operate with a blower? No. The Air Knife is designed to use only compressed air. Blowers are very noisy, large, and expensive with 3" to 6" connections. They simply will not produce enough force to operate our Air Knife. 2. Can I cut the Air Knife to a custom lenght? No. The Air Knife is precision-machined, cutting it would expose the internal design with no way to reseal the air knife. With that said, custom sizes can be machined upon special request. 3. Which way does the...

The drilled pipe is a common low-cost simple solution for blow-off needs. The chart below shows that the drilled pipe consumes almost twice the amount of air per SCFM and performs at a much lower rate in the amount of pressure supplied (PSIG). When you compare the performance of the Advanced Air Knife with the higher air consumption and energy use of the drilled pipe, the Advanced Air Knife comes out ahead. The drilled pipe runs into issues that include the potential for high noise levels, blockage, and velocity inconsistencies across the entire pipe. Over time, the drilled pipe would have...
