Exair 110018SS-316 316 Stainless Steel Super Air Knife, 18"

Features:

• EXAIR's Super Air Knife is the most efficient compressed air knife on the market and most popular design.
• It delivers a uniform sheet of laminar airflow across the entire length with hard-hitting force and the lowest operating cost.
• It is engineered to dramatically reduce compressed air usage while entraining ambient air at a ratio of 40:1.
• Noise levels are greatly reduced when compared to other blowoffs.
• It is the best choice for all applications.
• The Super Air Knife has a laminar airstream that is uniform, forceful and quiet. Velocity is the highest of all air knives.
• Air consumption is lowest of all air knives.
• Compressed air inlets are provided on each end and on the bottom.
• 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).
• 18" Type 316 St. St. Super Air Knife

Advantages:

• Quiet - 69 dBA for most applications
• Minimal air consumption
• 40:1 air amplification
• Uniform airflow across entire length
• Variable force and flow
• No moving parts - maintenance free
• Easy mounting - compressed air inlets on each end and bottom
• 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.
