– For use when a continuous stream of air is required and heated air from the temperature rise caused by the blower is desirable.

– Offer the longest length of knife combinations and should be used when a total combined length of knives over 24" (610 mm) is required.

– Offer the cleanest air available (HEPA filtration option) and the lowest operating cost.

– Extremely versatile – different types and sizes of packages available.

• WindJet Low Flow Air Knives:– For use when a continuous stream of air is required or the air

needs to be cycled on and off and compressed air lines are available. No increase in air temperature.

– Ideal for use when less than 24" (610 mm) total combined length of all knives is acceptable and the knives can be mounted close to the target.

• Variable Air Amplifiers:– For use when directed air or cycling air is required and

compressed air is available.

– Performance can be adjusted.

– Can be used as an exhaust device.

– Ideal for robotic applications.

• 727 WindJet Air Knife Manifold:– For use when high impact, air cycling and/or customized air

stream is required and compressed air is available.

– Ideal as final stage blow-off after blower packages for objects that require high velocities.

– Available in a wide range of materials.

We also offer a wide range of air control and blow-off nozzles, systems and air guns.

• Realize a 20% to 50% utility cost savings by using WindJet® Air Control nozzles instead of drilled holes in pipe or shop-fashioned flattened pipe.

• Specify the nozzle with the lowest flow available that meets your application requirements to minimize air consumption and reduce noise.

• Efficient air control nozzle performance is dependent on proper filtration of compressed air. Use a filter/separator to remove excess oil and water just prior to the nozzles.

• Use a pressure regulator and gauge on the air line to keep pressure as low as possible to minimize operating costs and noise and improve safety.

• When possible, increase the distance between the target surface and the nozzle to reduce noise caused by air impacting the target.

• To reduce the number of nozzles required, position nozzles to wipe sideways across a moving target at a comparatively shallow angle.

• When creating a curtain, place nozzles up to 12" (305 mm) apart depending on the application.

• Air control nozzles are available in many materials and can be used with CO2, nitrogen, steam or other compatible gases for special heating or cooling applications.

• In cleaning applications, angle the nozzles 15° to 45° to ensure the contaminant is removed from the product surface.

• For simple, accurate adjustment of nozzle orientation, install adjustable ball joints with air control nozzles.
