Exair 2404 4" Aluminum Super Air Wipe

Features:

• EXAIR's Super Air Wipe, with stainless steel hardware and shims, provides a uniform 360° airstream that is ideal for blowoff, drying, cleaning and cooling of pipe, cable, extruded shapes, hose, wire and more.
• Model include stainless steel braided hose which feeds both halves from one compressed air inlet.
• The split design offers easy clamping around the surface of the material moving through it, eliminating the need for threading.
• Compressed Air Inlets: The Super Air Wipe has compressed air inlets on each half. A stainless steel braided hose connects the air supply from one half to the other.
• Mounting: The Super Air Wipe can be supported by the compressed air supply pipe. Tapped holes (1/4-20) on the downstream side of the Super Air Wipe can also be used for mounting.
• Regulation: A pressure regulator on the compressed air supply provides infinite control of flow, force and air consumption.
• Aluminum - The aluminum Super Air Wipe is suited to a wide variety of environments where corrosion or contamination is not a factor. The aircraft grade aluminum construction with stainless steel 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 400°F (204°C).

• Tapped holes for mounting
• Variable force and flow
• Meets OSHA maximum dead end pressure and noise requirements

How it Work:

• Compressed air flows through an inlet (1) of the Air Wipe into an annular chamber (2). It is then throttled through a small ring nozzle (3) at high velocity.
• This primary airstream adheres to the Coanda profile (4), which directs it down the angled surface of the Air Wipe.
• A low pressure area is created at the center (5) inducing a high volume flow of surrounding air into the primary airstream.
• As the airflow leaves the Air Wipe, it creates a conical 360° ring of air that attaches itself to the surface of the material running through it (6), uniformly wiping the entire surface with the high velocity airflow.
