Air Wipe™

August 12, 2022

Provides a Uniform, 360° Stream of Air – Perfect for non-contact blow-off, cleaning, drying and cooling of extruded shapes, pipe, cable, hose etc.
  • Performs better, runs quieter and is much more efficient than conventional air nozzles in such applications.
  • Helps Reduce Production Costs
  • 5 Year Warranty

Use To:

  • Blow-off dust and dirt
  • Remove excess coatings
  • Dry after printing or plating
  • Cool hot, extruded shapes

Can be supported by the compressed air supply pipe. Tapped holes (¼”-20) on the bottom of the body can also be used for mounting.

Variable Velocity
Thickness of Plastic Shim between cap and body (.002” standard) determines force and flow of air stream. Thicker and thinner Shims (sets available below) can be used to increase or decrease airflow.
A pressure regulator on the compressed air supply provides infinite control of flow, force and air consumption.
NOTE: Use of an Air Filter Separator is essential for proper operation.

Circular Styling
Directs a consistent flow of air over the entire surface.

Quiet
Meets or exceeds OSHA noise requirements.

Split Design
Allows easy installation around the surface of the material moving through it

Low Air Consumption
Helps reduce production costs

Aluminum Construction
(NOT recommended for use in corrosive environments)

How Does it Work?

Compressed air flows through an inlet (1) of the Air Wipe into an annular chamber. (2) It is then throttled through a small ring nozzle (3) at high velocity. This primary airstream adheres to the coanda profile (4), which directs it down the angled surface of the Air Wipe. A low pressure area is created at the center (5) inducing a high volume flow of surrounding air into the primary airstream. As the airflow leaves the Air Wipe, it creates a conical 360° ring of air that attaches itself to the surface of the material running through it (6), uniformly wiping the entire surface with the high velocity airflow.
No Moving Parts — Nothing to Wear Out or Break!

2 Styles to Match Any Application

Standard Air Wipe

  • The best in non-corrosive environments
  • Designed to work where temperatures do not exceed 150°F (66°C)
  • Complete package including a general purpose PVC hose sized up to 4” (120mm)

Super Air Wipe

  • Ideal choice for corrosive environments
  • Choose from Aluminum models rated up to 400°F (204°C) or Stainless Steel models rated to 800°F (427°C) depending on your operating temperatures
  • Constructed with high quality stainless steel screws, shims along with stainless steel wire braided coupling hose sizes up to 4” (120mm)

Perfect for Hundreds of Applications:

  • Drying after paint, cleaning, plating or coating
  • Cool hot extruded shapes
  • Dry extruded profiles, rod & medical tubing
  • Blow excess water off auto door gaskets
  • Dry tube, hose, wire, & fiber optics
  • Clean paint gun tips
  • Clean strips or ribbons
  • Blowoff of dust and contaminates
  • Uniformly wipe surfaces
  • Eliminate solution carryover – stop contamination
  • Remove excess coatings, water and oil
  • Minimize solution loss due to drag-out
  • Dry screen printed or in jetted surfaces
