Exair 110212 12" Aluminum Super Air Knife Kit

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.
• 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).

• 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.
