Air Wipe Blows Off, Dries, Cleans or Cools Material Passing Through It

For wiping wire, drying inks, cooling hot extruded shapes, and blowoff of water, plating, coatings and dust, the 3/8 in Super Air Wipe from EXAIR produces a 360 deg airstream that can blow off, dry, clean or cool the material passing through it.

The 3/8 in Super Air Wipe ejects a small amount of compressed air through a thin slotted nozzle that pulls in high volumes of surrounding room air. The airflow uniformly ejects from the 360 deg of its inner diameter. Coupling brackets that hold each half of this air wipe together can be latched together or removed quickly. Additional shims can be installed if more blowoff force is required. Air velocity can be varied with a pressure regulator and instant on/off control provides precision blowoff. Air consumption is 11.1 SCFM at 80 psig and the sound level is low at only 82 dBA.
