The most effective production line add-on

Air Knife Systems provide cleaning, drying and blow-off for the full range of objects and materials processed by heavy industry.

Air Knife Systems are suitable for a range of applications for heavy industry, including removal of metal, wood, dust, powder, oil debris from objects, surface preparation for pre-and post-paint work, and removal of static. They are available in a range of sizes and types, can be added on to existing production lines easily, and can be fully or partially enclosed to minimise contamination and noise as needed.

Powerful, surface-adhering air streams

Air Knife Systems provide a full range of benefits for heavy industry, including:

• Removes 99%+ metal/wood debris, cleaning agents, sealants, oils and powder from the surface of objects
• Can provide “spot” drying, cleaning and blow-off
• Delivers clean, dry, oil-free air
• Adaptable to a range of line speeds and types of conveyor
• FDA Compliant 304 Stainless Steel air knives and manifolds suitable for harsh, corrosive, wash-down and sanitary/food-safe environments
• Provides effective and fast drying after painting, coating, and shrink labelling
• Pneumatic conveying/sorting of components, including plastics and metal parts
• Removes static electricity from objects
• Removes swarf
• Creates vacuum “hold down” for fabrics, metals and wood products

Energy, time and cost saving

Air Knife Systems provide energy savings, especially when used for large-scale applications, for example using between 80% less air than compressed air systems.

Investment paybacks are often achieved in just a few months, sometimes in a matter of weeks, providing a superior return-on-investment.
