What is the Standard Air Knife? A quiet, energy efficien♠♦★t way to clean, dry or cσ £γool parts, webs or conveyors. The Stand¥↑ard Air Knife utilizes the co♦φ↓¶anda effect (wall attachm≤α§≤ent of a high velocity fluid) to creφ✔ε∞ate air motion in its surrounβ±πdings. Using a small amount of c↔↔ompressed air as a power source, the↑€$ Standard Air Knife pulls in large vol★↔∞umes of surrounding air to λ♣produce a high flow, high velocityε↕ curtain of air for ₩≠blowoff.
Why the Standard Air Knife? Amplification ratios (entrained★""₹ air to compressed air) of 30:1 are ≠÷≈✔achieved with the Standard ∏¥σ•Air Knife, compared to 3:1₹↕≤ for drilled or slot≤Ω€→ted pipe. Air savings of 40% to 90%are possible when replacing these "ho★γ"memade" blowoff devices. Pay-ou→•≥•t is normally measured in ∞☆weeks, not months or years. The Standaαrd Air Knife dramaticall∑>y reduced "wind shear" by gradually i✔"≥ntroducing the entrained air t£★"o the ejected compressed air.
Noise level is typically'≤ε cut in half.The result is a high velocity, ✔ high volume sheet of air wiσ×th reduced noise level and air c ☆$ onsumption.
Overall length is 1" Ωααε(25mm) longer that th<σ₩e airflow length. The Standa$÷Ωrd Air Knife is available in al↓&αuminum and stainless steel.
Drilled pipe or open jets, by"→☆ contrast, provide minimal air ±∏amplification. They also produce unac§∏ πceptably high noise l≠≠evels as the compressed air shears in♦∏ to the still air.
