New air wipe dries, cools and cleans small diameters

EXAIR’S new 3/8" Super Air Wipe produces a 360º airstream that can blow off, dry, clean or cool the material passing through it. The split design can be clamped around continuously moving material such as wire, cable, pipe, hose and extruded shapes. The 3/8" 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 360º of its inner diameter. Coupling brackets that hold each half of the 3/8" wipe together can be latched together or removed quickly. Additional shims can be installed if more blow-off force is required. Air velocity can be varied with a pressure regulator, and instant on/off control provides precision blow-off. Air consumption is 11.1 SCFM at 80 PSIG and the sound level is low at only 82 dBA. Super air wipes are CE compliant and available from stock in aluminium and stainless steel in diameters from 3/8" (13mm) up to 4" (102mm). Large diameters up to 11" (279mm) are available from stock in aluminium. Applications include wiping wire; drying inks; cooling hot extruded shapes; and blow-off of water, plating, coatings and dust.
