Application:

  • Drying
    Blow off used for drying and other uses when it is impossible to hand dry parts.
  • Cleaning
    High velocity air can clean sensitive parts and avoid marring to critically sensitive materials.
  • Cooling
    Cool off materials during the manufacturing process when water or other coolants are not practical.
  • Heating
    Controlled heat for drying and other processes.
  • Anti-static
    Assure quality and reduce rejection rates by using forced air to dissipate electric charges.


 

Using Air Knives for Heating

  
If your products' drying performance can be enhanced by raising the temperature of the air applied to the product consider using a heat-enhansed air knife solution.  You can prolong or reduce cure time by using an air knife equipped with a heater.  The heat can be controlled to provide a fixed temperature or be adjustable from just a few degrees above room temperature up to 450°F.

Heated air knife applications include: Curing Ink or Coatingings , Food Processing, Bag Opening, Maintaining glued surface temperature until application is complete, and Heat Release.

Typical velocities to achieve good results are 10,000 to 28,000 ft./min.
