X-Stream Silent Air Knife อุปกรณ์มีดลม (ม่านลม) แบบแรงสูง สำหรับเป่าแห้ง เป่าไล่น้ำ
Silent X-Stream™Air-Blade™ Air Knife Curtain Blow-Off System from Nex Flow™
Air-Blade Air Knife X-Stream™ is easy to mount and maintain thereby reducing compressed air consumption and noise levels. It is the most efficient design for air knife curtain blow-off technology. This reduces noise levels and provides optimum blow-off energy.
It produces a “laminar” flow of air using the Coanda effect. This draws a large volume of air from the surrounding area along with the small amount of compressed air from the Air-Blade. It also produces an output flow up to 40 times.
The air knife system payback on compressed air savings can be seen in some applications.
Air-Blade Air Knife X-Stream™ make up a full flow design with rear port mounting. This avoids interference in the entrained air flow.
It also optimizes air amplification and minimizes noise levels. It is gold coated for longer life.
- It is made of aluminum and coated for long life. Stainless steel models are available for high temperature and corrosive applications.
- Air inlet ports are ideal for compact design and minimal air interference.
- Airflow amplification of approximately is 40:1 compared to 3:1 for drilled pipe or open jets and tubes.
- There is instant on-off mechanism with no moving parts. There are no electricity or explosion hazards.
Nex Flow™ Mounting systems also available.
Air Knife X-Stream™ Air-Blade™ Benefits:
- It is built and designed for significantly longer life in difficult environments compared to competing products.
- There are flexible mounting options and can easily fit in small spaces.
- Energy reduction in compressed air can use up to 90% and noise reductions of 15 DBA.
- It is maintenance-free. The output is easily controlled and safe use.

How They Work
Silent X-Stream™Air Blade™ Air Knife - Compressed air enters the air knife at the rear (or end) ports at (A). Air is entrained at point (B) and (D) by the compressed air stream that leaves the air knife from a small gap at point (C). The entrained air follows the profile that directs the airflow in a perfect straight line to create a uniform sheet of air along the entire length of the Air Blade™ air knife. The amplified air stream maximized velocity and force is maximized as a well-defined sheet of laminar flow with minimal wind shear for reduced energy use in blow off and cooling.

Cost Effectiveness
Example Of An Air Saving Calculation
1. From the chart showing air flow through a hole, assume we have a pipe 30 inches long with 1/16" holes spaced 1/2" apart with a total number of 59 holes. The air pressure in the system is 60 PSIG.
2. From the chart each 1/16" hole consumes 4.23 SCFM at 60 PSIG. Total air consumed is 59 X 4.23 = 249.57 SCFM.
3. From the Compressed Air Consumption Chart a 30" Air-Blade™ Air Knife consumes 2.7 SCFM per inch or 30 X 2.7 = 81 SCFM at 60 PSIG.
4. Assuming a compressed air cost of 30 cents/1000 standard cubic feet and an 8 hour day operation for 200 days per year, the Drilled Pipe Will Cost: 249.57 cu. ft./min. X 60 min./hr. X $.30/1000 cu. ft. X 200 days X 8 hrs/day equaling $7,187.62 a year.
5. The Air-Blade™ Air Knife X-Stream™ Will Cost: 81 cu. ft./min. X 60 min./hr. X $ .30/1000 cu. ft. X 200 days X 8 hrs/day equaling $2,332.80 a year.
6. The Savings Per Year using the Air-Blade™ - Air Knife X-Stream™ will be:$7,187.62 - $2,332.80 = $4,854.82 per year!
