Air Knife Systems utilize compressed air for industrial applications. The curtain like airflow of the Air Knife is the most efficient way to dry, clean, remove excess oils and liquids, dust, and cool. The Air Knife is used for Printing and labeling, part or component cooling, Converting and Packaging, Films and Laminating, Form and Fill, Sheet and Web Materials, Bag opening/fill operations, Conveying or hold down, Food Processing, Paint preparation and drying
Provides good performance with a 30:1 air amplification ratio that is less efficient than that of the Advanced Air Knife. Air consumption is ~3.4 SCFM per inch at 80 PSIG. The Regular Air Knife is a good choice when a less expensive alternative is required. It has slightly higher noise levels and uses more compressed air than the Advanced Air Knife
