EXAIR\u2019s<\/a> industry-leading Super Air Knife<\/a> dramatically reduces compressed air usage and noise when compared to other blowoff methods. The Super Air Knife is available in lengths ranging from 3\u201d-108\u201d and in Aluminum, 303 Stainless Steel, 316 Stainless Steel, and PVDF for corrosive applications. Even at high pressures of 80 psig, the Super Air Knife is able to maintain a sound level of just 69 dBA for most applications! Air is entrained from the ambient environment at a rate of 40:1, maximizing the force and flow from the Super Air Knife. In addition, these knives meet or exceed OSHA maximum dead-end pressure and noise requirements.<\/p>\n

Adjustability of both the force and flow from the Super Air Knife is infinitely adjustable. Right out of the box from the factory the Super Air Knife comes stock with a .002\u201d thick shim installed. This sets the gap between the body and cap of the knife and determines how much compressed air can flow through the precise, slotted orifice. An accessory that EXAIR has available for the Super Air Knife is the shim set.<\/a> For the aluminum knives, a .001\u201d, .003\u201d, and .004\u201d plastic shims come in the shim set. To reduce the flow and force, a .001\u201d can be used. If more force is required, a thicker shim can be installed. For the stainless steel and PVDF knives, (3) .002\u201d shims are included in the set. Stainless steel shims for the stainless knives and a PTFE shim for the PVDF. These, as well as the plastic shims, can be stacked on top of one another to create an even larger gap. One thing that is important to keep in mind however, the larger the air gap the greater the air consumption. Installing a .004\u201d shim in a Super Air Knife will double the force, flow, and consumption of the knife when compared to the stock .002\u201d shim.<\/p>\n

Installing a new shim in your Super Air Knife is very simple to do. Check out this quick video from Neal Raker that walks you through the steps:<\/p>\n

\n<\/figure>\n

While different shims are available for you to make gross adjustments to the force and flow of your Super Air Knife, there is one additional method. By using a pressure regulator, you can fine-tune the input pressure that is supplied to the Super Air Knife. This will also greatly impact the force and flow. At 40 psig, the Super Air Knife will consume 1.7 scfm\/inch and provide 1.1 oz\/inch of force. At 80 psig, it will consume 2.9 scfm\/inch and provide 2.5 oz\/inch of force. EXAIR offers pressure regulators in a variety of different sizes to accommodate any of our Super Air Knives from 3\u201d all the way up to 108\u201d.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re wasting air<\/a> in your facility using cheap nozzles, drilled pipes, or any other inefficient solution, give us a call<\/a>. An Application Engineer will gladly investigate your application and help to design a better, safer, and more cost-effective solution!<\/p>\n

All of EXAIR\u2019s Super Air Knives (stock lengths 3-108\u2033) are available to ship same-day with an order<\/a> placed by 2:00 ET. <\/p>\n
