Exair 110012SS 12" Type 303 Stainless Steel 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.
• 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.
