Product Description :
Air Knife Systems use compressed air for industrial blow off and cooling applications. They are used vastly to replace rows of air nozzles or jets or drilled pipes to lower energy. The curtain-like airflow of the Air Knife is a quick and efficient way to dry, clean, and cool. Reduction of energy using air knives can be between 30% to 90% depending on the application, and can have noise reduction of 10 to 15 dBA or greater.
Air knives are linear air amplifiers that consist of a body with a plenum chamber, a cap, and either a machined gap in the body or a shim to keep an even gap along the length of the air knife. The goal is to give the highest force/air consumption ratio. In addition, you want to be able to get the greatest force over its length at the least possible input pressure as that also lowers compressed air cost. The Nex Flow™ X-Stream™ Air Blade™ Air Knives accomplishes that better than any products in the market. The X-Stream™ Air Blade™ Air Knives are 25% more efficient than the older design of the Standard Air Blade™ Air knives, and also have a much lower noise level.
