WindJet Air Knife
If your application allows nozzle placement close to
the target and the ambient environment is clean, our
WindJet Air knife is ideal for quick and even drying
after washing or rinsing. The WindJet Air knife features
a unique protruding leading edge that extends
1/8” beyond the air slot along the length of the knife.
Because of this pronounced edge, the flow of air is
directed out of the knife in a straight stream. This leads
to a stream that retains its integrity in a more controlled
manner.
The extended edge also improves the air entrainment
around the Air Knife body. The WindJet Air Knife
operates on the principles of the Coanda effect and
air entrainment to provide a steady, consistent, highvolume
stream of air. The longer edge of the Air Knife
takes advantage of the Coanda effect, which induces
the supplied air to attach itself to the surface of the
knife. The integrity of the air stream is maintained
further downstream and a condition conducive to the
entraining of ambient air is present, increasing the
total volume of air.
In addition to producing a uniform, controlled air
stream, our leading edge helps application set-up. The
extended edge provides a visual guide as to where the
air stream is headed. It literally points out the direction
of the flow, so you can accurately position the knife for
optimum performance.

• Available in six lengths: 6”, 12”, 18”, 24”, 30” and
36” (154, 305, 457, 610, 762, 914 mm)
• Standard lengths up to 3’ (91.44 cm); custom
lengths available
• Materials: Corrosion-resistant anodized aluminum
or stainless steel for long life and durability
Strip Blow-Off/Cold Strip Mill
Our WindJet Air Knives are powered by electric regenerative
blowers. These blowers offer performance
comparable to more costly multi-stage or positive
displacement blowers and operate trouble-free with
minimal maintenance. Be sure to request more information
about our complete WindJet Air knife Drying
Packages.
Air Cannon
The 55155 Air Cannon delivers
a high-velocity air stream into
holes and crevices of irregularly
shaped parts, perfect for
beam blanks or extruded sections.
The air cannon can also
be used for blowing out or
cleaning areas needing high
air concentration, like in tubing
applications.
Specifications:
• Materials: Anodized aluminum or 316 stainless steel
• Three orifice sizes – 1/2”, 3/4” or 1” (12.7, 19.1 or
25.4 mm) diameter
• Built-in mounting spacer for easy repositioning
• Available separately or as part of an Air Knife drying
package
