Spraying Systems, a leading manufacturer of spray nozzles and accessories, has put much effort into using its spray technology expertise to develop a new advanced air knife. This is intended to make blowing and drying more controlled, more efficient and more reliable.
The new Windjet Air Knife Blower Package, the latest addition to its Windjet line, has many features that are sure to make your dryoff and blowoff applications more successful. The biggest development is a unique protruding leading edge on the air knife that extends 3 mm beyond the air slot along the length of the knife. Because of this pronounced edge, the flow of air is directed out of the knife in a straight stream. This leads to a stream that retains its integrity in a more controlled manner. The benefit is a uniform, high volume, constant air stream along the entire knife length ensuring no spotting or blotching.
The air knife comes in two air slots sizes, 1 mm for a higher impact air stream and 1,52 mm for a higher flow. Both offer great flexibility in air knife performance. In addition to the appropriate length and number of Windjet Air Knives, each package includes a Gast Regenerative Blower assembly for supplied air. These blowers are available in four different power ratings (3,7 to 22 kW), are energy efficient and require little maintenance, which lowers operating costs.
The assemblies arrive complete with a pressure relief valve, pressure gauge, inlet air filter, fittings and a convenient mounting adapter for flexible or rigid tubing. Also available are several accessories, including: mounting brackets, mufflers, tubing, elbows, motor starters, couplings, clamps, air cannons and manifolds.
