Standard Air Wipe

This hard-hitting 360º ring of airflow is the economical way to Blowoff, Dry, Clean and Cool!


Standard Air Wipe - are a lower cost option for applications that don't require the added durability of stainless steel screws, shims, and hose.

  • Creates a complete 360° laminar blowoff
  • There is no contact with product - no wiper blade
  • Available in aluminum with coated screws and PVC hose
  • Complies with OSHA noise and pressure standards

 

What is The Standard Air Wipe?

EXAIR's Standard Air Wipe provides a uniform 360° airstream that is ideal for blowoff, drying, cleaning and cooling of pipe, cable, extruded shapes, hose and more. It is a good choice when the added durability of stainless steel screws, shims and hose are not required. Kits include the Standard Air Wipe, shim set, filter separator and pressure regulator (with coupler).

 

Why The Standard Air Wipe?

The Standard Air Wipe is a good choice when the added durability of stainless steel screws, shims and hose are not required. The Standard Air Wipe uses coated screws, plastic shims and a general purpose PVC coupling air hose on sizes up to 4" (102mm). The Standard Air Wipe is best suited to applications in non-corrosive environments where temperatures do not exceed 150°F (66°C).

Applications:

  • Drying after washing, cleaning, plating or coating
  • Blowoff dust and contaminants
  • Cool hot extruded shapes
  • Uniformly wipe surfaces
  • Dry extruded profiles, rod and medical tubing
  • Eliminate solution carryover - no cross contamination
  • Blow excess water from automotive door gaskets
  • Remove excess coatings, water and oil
  • Dry tube, hose, wire, fiber optics
  • Minimize solution loss due to drag-out
  • Clean paint gun tips
  • Dry screen printed or ink jetted surfaces
  • Clean strips and ribbon

 

Standard Air Wipe Specifications

The Standard Air Wipe is available with throat diameters (I.D.) of 3/8", 1/2", 1", 2", 3", 4", 5", 6", 7", 9", and 11" (10, 13, 25, 51, 76, 102, 127, 152, 178, 229, and 279mm). Special diameters are available. Contact our us.

Compressed Air Inlets: The Standard Air Wipe has compressed air inlets on each half. General purpose compressed air hose is supplied with sizes up to 4" (102mm) that couples the air supply of one half to the other. Sizes 9" (229mm) and larger have two inlets on each half that must be supplied with compressed air to maintain uniform airflow.

Filtration: The use of clean air is essential. Kits include an automatic drain filter with a 5 micron filter element that is sized properly for flow.

Materials of Construction: The Standard Air Wipe is constructed of aluminum. All models use coated screws and plastic shims. General purpose PVC air hose is included with sizes up to 4" (102mm).

Temperature: The Standard Air Wipe is rated for temperatures up to 150°F (66°C).

Mounting: The Standard Air Wipe can be supported by the compressed air supply pipe. Tapped holes (1/4-20) on the downstream side of the Standard Air Wipe can also be used for mounting.

Regulation: A pressure regulator on the compressed air supply provides infinite control of flow, force and air consumption. Kits include a pressure regulator that is sized properly for flow.

Shim Sets: The Standard Air Wipe has a .002" (0.05mm) gap setting. The compressed air exhausts through a gap which is set with a plastic shim positioned between the cap and body of the Standard Air Wipe. Force and flow through the Standard Air Wipe may be easily increased by adding shims to open the gap. Kits include a shim set (three additional shims). Shim sets include a .001" (0.03mm), .003" (0.08mm) and .004" (0.10mm) thick plastic shim.

Changing Performance By Adding Shims

The compressed air exhausts through a gap which is set with a shim positioned between the cap and the body of the Standard Air Wipe. It is shipped with a .002" (0.05mm) thick plastic shim installed which works best for most applications. Force and flow may be easily increased by adding shims to open the gap. Increasing the gap opening offers higher velocity and harder hitting force. Air consumption and noise will be slightly higher. Air Wipe shim sets are available that include one each of a .001" (0.03mm), .003" (0.08mm), and .004" (0.10mm) thick shims. Shim sets are included with all kits or may be purchased separately.

 

How the Standard Air Wipe Works?

 

Compressed air flows through an inlet (1) of the Air Wipe into an annular chamber (2). It is then throttled through a small ring nozzle (3) at high velocity. This primary airstream adheres to the Coanda profile (4), which directs it down the angled surface of the Air Wipe. A low pressure area is created at the center (5) inducing a high volume flow of surrounding air into the primary airstream. As the airflow leaves the Air Wipe, it creates a conical 360° ring of air that attaches itself to the surface of the material running through it (6), uniformly wiping the entire surface with the high velocity airflow.

 

Here are some sample of applications:

A model 2431 1" (25mm) Standard Air Wipe blows off excess coating from a wire into a dip tank

 

The Standard Air Wipe blows coolant off the part back into the centerless grinder
