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.

 

 

Applications for Air Blow Off

  

Air knives and air blow off systems are very important because of the following influences:

  • Reduced solvent use in coatings, causing longer cure times.
  • Increased use of aqueous based coatings and washes.
  • Use of more environmentally friendly paints and coatings that do not dry as quickly.
  • Increased awareness of the cost of compressed air for dry-off.
  • The many disadvantages of compressed air for dry-off.
  • A demand for increased label information including point of production bar codes and date stamps.
  • Increased production line speeds, reducing drying time available.
  • Reduced noise potential.

Air blow off applications can be divided into the following classifications. To read more, choose your application:
