Exair 2431 1" Aluminum Standard Air Wipe

Features:

• The Standard Air Wipe is a good choice when the added durability of stainless steel screws, shims and hose are not required.
• EXAIR's Standard Air Wipe provides a uniform 360° airstream that is ideal for blowoff, drying, cleaning and cooling of pipe, cable, extruded shapes, hose and more.
• The split design offers easy clamping around the surface of the material moving through it, eliminating the need for threading.
• Compressed Air Inlets: The Standard Air Wipe has compressed air inlets on each half. General purpose compressed air hose.
• Filtration: The use of clean air is essential.
• Materials of Construction: The Standard Air Wipe is constructed of aluminum.
• Temperature: The Standard Air Wipe is rated for temperatures up to 150°F (66°C).
• Mounting: The Standard Air Wipe can be supported by the compressed air supply pipe. Tapped holes (1/4-20) on the downstream side of the Standard 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.
• Shim Sets: The Standard Air Wipe has a 0.002" (0.05 mm) gap setting. The compressed air exhausts through a gap which is set with a plastic shim positioned between the cap and body of the Standard Air Wipe.
• Aluminum - The Standard Air Wipe uses coated screws, plastic shims and a general purpose PVC coupling air hose on sizes up to 4" (102 mm). The Standard Air Wipe is best suited to applications in non-corrosive environments where temperatures do not exceed 150°F (66°C).

• Split design - compact, rugged, easy to install
• Lightweight, low profile
• 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.
