EXAIR custom air knives can work for myriad manufacturing processes

Various kinds of air knives are available.

For the best selection of industrial compressed-air equipment for a wide range of uses, North American businesses know that their best bet is always to turn to EXAIR Corporation. The lineup includes various kinds of air knives, which serve users as efficient and highly effective tools for blow-off, cooling, cleaning, and drying in many manufacturing processes. What makes EXAIR the perfect source for air knives is that it has the ability to customize and tailor them for unique applications.

Unique shapes and profiles available

The EXAIR team can customize these air knives according to various specifications, in order to accommodate the broad range of unique issues that manufacturers face. These customization options include such features as size, shape, material, custom mounting holes, and dimensions. The company offers this service to solve distinct manufacturing problems that the industry’s widest portfolio of air knives does not already tackle on its own.

One common example: EXAIR can create air knives with smaller lengths or skinnier profiles for clients who have space limitations. The team can also offer special mounting brackets or additional/custom-sized air inlets to fit a current system, for situations in which the user may need to install the knife in a very defined spot.

For scenarios in which stock aluminum, stainless steel, or PVDF will not work, there are other material options available, such as CPVC and glass-filled PEEK thermoplastic, for example. The EXAIR crew can also accommodate special marking requirements for tying air knives to specific machines or critical processes. For a convenient solution to certain specialized processes, there are also unique shapes and profiles available, such as sided or curved air knives.

EXAIR carries three different styles of air knives – the Super, Standard, and Full Flow models, and the company can customize all of these versions according to a customer’s individual requirements. An EXAIR application engineer can help clients to solve any specific blow-off issues. Several accessories for air knives are also available.

Founded in 1983, EXAIR Corporation designs, manufactures, and supplies air knives, static eliminators, nozzles, cabinet coolers, and other compressed-air solutions at its headquarters in Cincinnati.
