Water Blow-Off From Vegetables

Tests indicate that the Nex Flow X-Stream Air-Blade™ Air Knife system is the most quiet and efficient of any air blade available. Unlike many competitive air knife products the X-stream Air Blade air knife is “anodized” for longer material life. After all - would you buy a car that is not painted?

All of Nex Flow air knife systems come with stainless steel shims – not cheap plastic ones that wear out, all at no extra charge.

Applications Include:

A 30" Model 10030X X-Stream Air-Blade™ Air Knife blows off excess sugar from muffins prior to entering an oven to avoid burning of the sugar improving the quality of the end product. The X-Stream Air-Blade™ Air Knife has a wide range of control of blow-off force by varying the pressure. The low noise level allows workers to be more comfortable around the conveyer.

An 18" Standard Air-Blade™ Air Knife is used to blow excess water off vegetables after initial wash during their processing, preventing water buildup on the conveyor lines which previously caused undue maintenance downtime

Air Blade Ionizer in Packaging Operation

In the packaging section of a cheese plant, small dust particles were attracted to the plastic web causing severe quality issues. Due to the environment, a contact brush was not possible and a blower ionizer was too large. In addition, they needed adequate force to blow off any dust that may just "stick". A 12" Model 15112 Air-Blade™ Ionizer neutralized the plastic preventing the dust attraction and also loosened and removed any particulate from the web. It was mounted to blow the dust away from the direction for packaging providing a clean barrier for the product. It was compact, and essentially maintenance free. Scrap rates were reduced dramatically. The units also “last” because of the high quality static bar, fully shielded cable. Many competitive units had poor quality cable that leads to early failure of their static bar.
