Air Curtain
High Pressure Air-knives Vs. Compressed Air Blowoff Systems
Canadian Air Systems Co. is a well known designer and manufacturer of industrial blow-off air-knife systems.
Many industrial manufacrurers that traditionally were using compressed air for their blow-off needs realize the problem stemmed from their use of compressed air. Employees using compressed air guns were unable to completely blow off cleaner / phosphate solution from steel parts surface as they emerge at high speed from industrial washer. Moreover, the cost to make the compressed air is excessive. Compressed air may be the most expensive product a plant can make using electricity; so that using of compressed air for blow-off applications is considered by many industrial users as “just one huge air leak”.
Another common problem at industrial plants is lack of space to establish a normal drying line, forcing them to look for a blowoff method that could be installed in an absolute minimum of space.
Canadian Air Systems Co. has developed an universal blow-off air-knife system that includes a super high pressure single stage centrifugal pressure blower ans a system of tube-type slot air knives, that completely replaces traditional compressed air blowoff systems, and save money due to much higher operating efficiency. A flexible PVC pipe is sued to feed Air Knives from the outlet og high pressure blower. Adjustble slot opening at each air-knife enables to regulate the air velocity and volume, as well as “focus” air blow off system on a certain distance from a flat surface that has to be dryed. If necessary an additional air damper at the blower can be added fro more flexibility. An inlet blower Filter helps to eleiminate any dust and solid particles inside the blower and air knives. Typical air velocity at the exit from Air Knife reaches 30,000 – 40,000 feet per minute, that provides efficient flowoff effect even with relatively high-speed conveyor lines.
A specially designed support system for Air Knives also allows for directional adjustment of the air flow around moving parts. With this elaborated air adjustment system it is easy for an employee to re-direct blow-off air to handle whatever industrial process configuration is being run at any given time.
An added bonus is that Canadian Air Systems AirKnife System lets its customers free up at least 80% of an employee’s time. For manufacturers running two or three shifts a day, those man-hour savings add up to substantial cost savings.
The maintenance of the system is minimal, it consists of air filter replacing ones in few months… it takes may be ten minutes… that’s all the regular maintenance that the blowoff system requires.
Standard material of Air-Knife construction includes a mild steel blower and aluminum air-knife body with steel powder coated or stainless steel support columns. But some tough industrial applications might necessiate using of stainless steel air knives or stainless blowers, that are available from Canadian Air Systems too; as well as inline De-Ionizing accessory
Canadian Air Systems Co. is a world’s leading designer and manufacturer of high-penetration air-knives for a variety of industrial process applications:
