Exair 1100108SS-316PKI 108" 316 Stainless Steel Super Air Knife with Plumbing Kit

Features:

• A plumbing kit installed on a Super Air Knife provides properly sized compressed air hose or pipe, and fittings to interconnect the bottom or end compressed air inlet for best performance and to simplify installation.
• It is engineered to dramatically reduce compressed air usage while entraining ambient air at a ratio of 40:1.
• The noise level is also greatly reduced when compared to other blowoffs.
• Material:
  • Type 316 Stainless Steel - Some applications require better corrosion resistance than offered by Type 303 stainless steel.
  • Type 316 stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance, better strength properties and resists pitting.
  • These factors are important to manufacturers of food, pharmaceutical and surgical products that need to minimize contamination by the metal.
  • It can withstand temperatures up to 800°F (427°C).

• Compact, rugged, easy to install
• Recessed hardware

How the Super Air Knife Works:

• Compressed air flows through an inlet (1) into the plenum chamber of the Super Air Knife.
• The flow is directed to a precise, slotted orifice.
• As the primary airflow exits the thin slotted nozzle (2), it follows a flat surface that directs the airflow in a perfectly straight line.
• This creates a uniform sheet of air across the entire length of the Super Air Knife.
• Velocity loss is minimized and force is maximized as the room air (3) is entrained into the primary airstream at a ratio of 40:1.
• The result is a well defined sheet of laminar airflow with hard-hitting force and minimal wind shear.
