Description

Features:

  • EXAIR Super Air Knife Kits include a Super Air Knife, shim set, filter separator and pressure regulator (with coupler).
  • It is the most efficient compressed air knife on the market. It delivers a uniform sheet of laminar airflow across the entire length with hard-hitting force.
  • It is engineered to dramatically reduce compressed air usage while entraining ambient air at a ratio of 40:1.
  • Noise level are greatly reduced when compared to other blowoffs.
  • The Super Air Knife offers an effective way to clean, dry or cool parts, webs or conveyors, and also acts as an environmental separator or air curtain.
  • Type 316 Stainless Steel – Some applications require better corrosion resistance than offered by Type 303 stainless steel. Type 316 stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance, better strength properties and resists pitting. These factors are important to manufacturers of food, pharmaceutical and surgical products that need to minimize contamination by the metal. It can withstand temperatures up to 800°F (427°C).
  • 6″ Type 316 St. St. Super Air Knife Kit

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.
