Blower to air knife generator

What is a blower air-knife system?

A Blower Air-Knife System is still a relatively new type of machinery to most individuals in plant engineering and maintenance today. Air Knives have become commonplace only within the last 15 years as an alternative to the costly process of using compressed air for applications such as drying, blow-off, debris removal and others.

What is a blower air knife?

An air knife is a slotted air manifold used to discharge a high-velocity curtain of air for drying or cleaning conveyorized product. What is a Blower Air Knife System? Why Use a Blower Air Knife System? #1 - Energy Savings - through replacement of compressed air usage. #2 - Higher Productivity - through more effective drying and cleaning.

Can a blower air knife replace a compressed air blow-off system?

In a typical application, a well designed blower air knife system can replace a compressed air blow-off system using only 10-20% of the energy. This means that a plant using $100,000 worth of compressed air to dry parts on a conveyor line has the opportunity to save $90,000 per year by switching to a blower air knife system.

Are regenerative blowers better for air knife systems?

This means that one of our Air Knife Systems complete with a practically maintenance-free Regenerative Blower is 4 times cheaper than a system with a typical air compressor. This is just one of the many reasons why our blowers are superior for Air Knife Systems and many other applications.
