Air Knife Curtain Blow-Off System
-
Air Knife Curtain
Blow-Off System (Air-Blade™) produces a “laminar”
flow of air along its length using the ”Coanda”
effect which “entrains” a large volume of air from
the surrounding area along with the small amount of compressed
air from the Air-Blade™ to produce an output flow up
to 30 times.
-
System payback
on compressed air savings can be as soon as a few weeks in
some applications.
How
It Works
It produces a curtain
of air along the length of the application using the same "Coanda"
effect utilized in our Air Amplifiers.
There are no moving parts, with compressed air from a local production
line source being used to amplify end entrain surrounding air.
Output volumes almost twenty times higher than those at the input
can be achieved.
Offered in aluminum or stainless steel and can be manufactured
in any length from a combination of our standard sizes.
Features
Unlike some competitive products that advertise a full flow air
knife type system, our low cost air knives are rugged with a multiple
port design for flexibility in mounting and anodized for longer
life.

Benefits
|
- Made of an anodized aluminum
body and a hard-anodized “cap”. Stainless steel
models are available for high temperature and corrosive
applications.
|
- Built and designed for
significantly longer life in difficult environments than
many competing products.
|
- Multiple air inlet ports
on either the back or ends in a compact design with additional
mounting holes on the back.
|
- Flexible mounting options
and easy to fit in small spaces.
|
- Airflow amplification
of approximately 30:1 compared to 3:1 for drilled pipe
or open jets and tubes.
|
- Energy reduction in compressed
air use up to 90% and noise reductions of 10 dbA.
|
- Instant on-off with no
moving parts, no electricity or explosion hazard.
|
- Maintenance free with
output easily controlled, safe to use.

Applications
Typical applications replace drilled pipe, or rows of nozzles
used for blow-off, cleaning, drying or cooling.
Automotive
Remove water, coolant, dust, and scrap in parts manufacturing
and in assembly operations. Can be used to cool parts.
Bottling
Blow off of water prior to labeling, palletizing or packaging.
Moving light materials. Open and close packaging lids or tops.
Chemicals
Blow off of chemicals or water prior to labeling or packaging
as with bottling operations.
Food
Remove water from product or packaging. Control application
of some materials to the food product such as sugar, icing etc.
Open pouches in bagging operations. Dry food.
General Manufacturing
Part ejection, air curtain barrier, dust and liquid
blow off from all types of parts. Ideal for replacing fans in
some cooling operations.
Metals
Coolant and other liquid removal on process lines from Aluminum,
Steel, Brass or other materials. Dry metals prior to other operations
such as plating or polishing. Cool metal parts prior to coating
or painting.
Paper
& Lumber
Paper dust removal and control. Dust removal from plywood and
panel board
Plastic
Dust and scrap blow off. Cool off molten plastic in dip molding.
Printing
Cooling to set some inks, scrap blow off, hold down labels prior
to printing, cool adhesives to allow faster speeds in label applications
and binding operations.
Pharmaceutical
Remove liquid prior to labeling or packaging waste removal from
solid materials.
Textile
Cleaning and drying of cloth or other materials.
