Features:
- EXAIR’s Super Air Knife is the most efficient compressed air knife on the market and most popular design.
- It delivers a uniform sheet of laminar airflow across the entire length with hard-hitting force and the lowest operating cost.
- It is engineered to dramatically reduce compressed air usage while entraining ambient air at a ratio of 40:1.
- Noise levels are greatly reduced when compared to other blowoffs.
- It is the best choice for all applications.
- The Super Air Knife has a laminar airstream that is uniform, forceful and quiet. Velocity is the highest of all air knives.
- Air consumption is lowest of all air knives.
- Compressed air inlets are provided on each end and on the bottom.
- Type 303 Stainless Steel – This is the most common grade of stainless steel. It offers good strength and is best suited to mildly corrosive environments. It can withstand temperatures up to 800°F (427°C).
- 12″ Type 303 St. St. Super Air Knife
Applications:
- Part drying after wash
- Sheet cleaning in strip mills
- Conveyor cleaning
- Part or component cooling
- Web drying or cleaning
- Environmental separation
- Pre-paint blowoff
- Bag opening / filling operations
- Scrap removal on converting operations
Advantages:
- Quiet – 69 dBA for most applications
- Minimal air consumption
- 40:1 air amplification
- Uniform airflow across entire length
- Variable force and flow
- No moving parts – maintenance free
- Easy mounting – compressed air inlets on each end and bottom
- Compact, rugged, easy to install
- Recessed hardware
How the Super Air Knife Works:
- Compressed air flows through an inlet (1) into the plenum chamber of the Super Air Knife.
- The flow is directed to a precise, slotted orifice.
- As the primary airflow exits the thin slotted nozzle (2), it follows a flat surface that directs the airflow in a perfectly straight line.
- This creates a uniform sheet of air across the entire length of the Super Air Knife.
- Velocity loss is minimized and force is maximized as the room air (3) is entrained into the primary airstream at a ratio of 40:1.
- The result is a well defined sheet of laminar airflow with hard-hitting force and minimal wind shear.
