What is an air knife and how does it eliminate static?
The approach to blowoff technology has changed dramatically over the last 15 years. An air knife is a non-contact method of removing unwanted surface contaminants. By directing low pressure, high velocity ambient air into a plenum chamber and out through precision slots, a controlled curtain of air is produced which can be used for many different applications. As powered by a centrifugal blower, this system delivers impact air velocities from 5000 to 45,000 FPM to the surface of products for drying, dust blow off, coating control, cooling, and heating. With pressures of 0.5 to 4.0 psig and high volumes of air, a blower air knife system produces equal or greater blow off effectiveness than compressed air at 100 psig and very low cfm while requiring an average of 75% less energy than compressed air. 18″ middle inlet air knife with ionizing bar and vacuum collection system located directly below ionized air stream The static elimination system accomplishes this function in a two-stage pro
