Exair 110236SS-316PKI 36" Type 316 Stainless Steel Super Air Knife Kit with Plumbing Kit

Kits with Plumbing Kit installed include a Super Air Knife with assembled plumbing kit, shim set, filter separator and pressure regulator (with coupler). Plumbing kits simplify installation by eliminating the need to source properly sized fittings and insure peak performance of the Super Air Knife. EXAIR's Super Air Knife is the most efficient compressed air knife on the market. It is engineered to dramatically reduce compressed air usage and lower noise levels.

Applications:

• Part drying after wash
• Sheet cleaning in strip mills
• Conveyor cleaning
• Part or component cooling
• Web drying or cleaning
• Environmental separation
• Pre-paint blowoff
• Bag opening/filling operations
• Scrap removal on converting operations

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

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).

The Super Air Knife provides the best performance with a 40:1 air amplification ratio, making it the most efficient. 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 three air knives. Air consumption is lowest of all three air knives. Compressed air inlets are provided on each end and on the bottom. Multiple Super Air Knives can be mounted "end to end" for longer lengths of uninterrupted airflow.

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.
