Air Knives

View Tameson's range of air knives. Air knives, or air curtains use minimal compressed air consumption to remove large quantities of chippings, dirt, water, or oil, or where large areas of objects need to be cooled by an air jet. Air is blown through a 0.5mm slit at nearly the speed of sound, surrounding air is drawn along, generating an air curtain that consists of almost 25 times the initial volume of air applied. The noise level is up to 50 dBA less than in drilled pipes with the same delivery volume. Other uses for air curtains: •removes water from plastic films or metal •removal of chippings, cutting residue, or sanding dust •cleaning of parts before painting •generating an air curtain to screen processes from one another •cooling and cleaning of extruded parts •cooling and cleaning of conveyor belts and the parts upon them •cooling and drying adhesives or colors in the printing industry
