Prior to the introduction of the Standard Air Wipe, the only way to blowoff, dry, clean and cool these surfaces was to use a ring of air nozzles.The high air consumption and noise levels of the nozzles along with inconsistent air velocity often delivered poor results.
The Standard Air Wipe provides a high volume, high velocity airflow that is uniformly ejected from the 360° of its inner diameter. Velocity can be varied from a “blast” to a “breeze”. Air consumption and noise are low.
Applications
- Drying after wash, cleaning, plating or coating
- Blowoff dust and contaminants
- Cool hot extruded shapes
- Uniformly wipe surfaces
- Dry extruded profiles, rod and medical tubing
- Eliminate solution carryover – no cross contamination
- Blow excess water from automotive door gaskets
- Remove excess coatings, water and oil
- Dry tube, hose, wire, fiber optics
- Minimize solution loss due to dragout
- Clean paint gun tips
- Dry screen printed or ink jetted surfaces
- Clean strips and ribbon
Advantages
- Quiet
- Low air consumption
- Uniform airflow across the entire diameter
- No electricity, no moving parts
- Variable force and flow
- Non-contact – no wiper blade
- Lightweight, low profile
- Tapped holes for mounting
- Split design – compact, rugged, easy to install
- Meets OSHA maximum dead end pressure and noise requirements
