Air Knives & Nozzles
Air Saving Engineered Nozzles
Air saver nozzles and jets use "air ring" engineering to cut compressed air use up to 70%. Innovative air-amplifier nozzle design emits a ring of compressed air with a strong vacuum in its wake to puff in surrounding air, amplifying airflow 4X to 25X. Air saver jets provide big air handling from a small amount of compressed air. Economical, versatile, reliable -- with no moving parts - the nozzles and jets are problem-solving replacements for blowers, vacuums and fans in blow-off, part ejection, ventilation, cooling, drying, and air conveying.
Air Knives
Through precision-engineered air-jets, air knives direct and utilize high velocity air from a centrifugal blower or air compressor to accomplish the following:
- Drying/removing liquid films from surfaces
- Controlling the coating of surfaces
- Blowing off/removing dust and debris
- Impregnation of surfaces
- Conveying, holding down or cushioning materials with air
- Cooling or heating of materials
- Providing an air curtain or barrier
- Separating different weights or sizes
Substantial energy savings are possible: If your plant uses compressed air or thermal processes (using banks of heaters), installing more efficient air knife systems can eliminate as much as 80% of the total energy consumption, with superior results. A blower driven air knife can generate cost savings, speed up operations and/or provide other improvements in the manufacturing process. Investment paybacks are often achieved in just a few months, sometimes in a matter of weeks, providing a superior return-on-investment.
