ITW Vortec’s air knives (Curtain Transvectors) deliver a flat sheet of amplified air which efficiently blows off wide surfaces of debris as well as provide high speed drying for a broad range of industrial applications. Ionizing air knives (Curtain Transvectors) add a static neutralizing bar to kill static cling and discharge dust and particles for blowoff. (See our static elimination air knives)Applications For Air Knives:
Since air knives (air knife) are air amplifiers, they use a small amount of compressed air to deliver a powerful, high velocity, laminar sheet of air over wide areas, moving webs, sheets, film, strips, auto bodies and other large assemblies and objets.Our patented design produces increased thrust and velocity, reduces noise, excellent uniformity and significantly outperforms any competing, wide blowoff device. Stainless steel air knives (air knife) are ideal for food, pharmaceutical, chemical and other applications where purity, high temperature or corrosive environments are concerned.Air knives (air knife), as well as the ionizing versions, have numerous and diverse processing, finishing, fabrication, assembly, and other industrial uses for cooling, drying, cleaning or static elimination on wide surfaces.
