Exair 110012 12" Aluminum Super Air Knife

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.
• Aluminum - The aluminum Super Air Knife is suited to a wide variety of environments where corrosion or contamination is not a factor. The aircraft grade aluminum construction with plastic shim is very durable for general purpose applications. Stainless steel screws are used to eliminate corrosion in damp locations. It can withstand temperatures up to 180°F (82°C).

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.
