Air-Blade™
Air Knife comes with a standard machined .002" outlet
gap which will work for 90% of all applications encountered.
If greater force is required, a .002" shim may be installed
to open the gap for greater flow. Materials of construction
are either anodized aluminum or stainless steel.

Air-Blade™
Air Knife - Cost
Effectiveness
Example of an air saving calculation.
1. From the chart
showing air flow through a hole, assume we have a pipe 30
inches long with 1/16" holes spaced ½”
apart with a total number of 59 holes. The air pressure
in the system is 60 PSIG.
2. From the chart
each 1/16" hole consumes 4.23 SCFM at 60 PSIG. Total
air consumed is 59 X 4.23 = 249.57 SCFM.
3. From the compressed
air consumption chart for Air-Blades, a 30"
Air-Blade™ Air Knife System consumes 2.7 SCFM per inch
or 30 X 2.7 = 81 SCFM at 60 PSIG.
4. Assuming a compressed
air cost of 30 cents/1000 standard cubic feet and an 8 hour
day operation for 200 days per year, the Drilled
Pipe Will Cost:
249.57 cu. ft./min. X 60 min./hr. X $.30/1000 cu. ft. X
200 days X 8 hrs/day = $7,187.62
a year.
5. The Air-Blade™
Air Knife System Will
Cost:
81 cu. ft./min. X 60 min./hr. X $ .30/1000 cu. ft. X 200
days X 8 hrs/day = $2,332.80 a
year.
6. The Savings
Per Year using the Air-Blade™
Air Knife System will be: $7,187.62 - $2,332.80
= $4,854.82 per year!
