Air Knife Systems utilize compressed air for industrial applications. The curtain like airflow
of the Air Knife is the most efficient way to dry, clean, removes excess oils and liquids, dust,
and cool.
Product Overview
Air Knife X-Stream is easy to mountand maintain, reducing bothcompressed air consumptionand noise levels. It is the most efficient design yet achieved inAir Knife blow off technology in reducing noise levels and airconsumption yet providing theoptimum in blow off energy.
Air Knife X-Stream produces a“laminar” flow of air along its lengthusing the ”Coanda”effect which “entrains” a large volume of air from thesurrounding areaalong with a small amount of compressedair fromAir Knife X-Stream to produce anoutput flow up to 40 times.
Note : Plastic shims can wear out quickly in Air Knives if theair is not clean. Note : We useONLY stainless steel shims
Air-Knife X-Stream Features
No moving parts Gold Anodized aluminum, Black Anodized aluminum or stainless steel Compact design, simple, lightweight and portable “laminar” flow - Air across entire length of Air Knife Air inlets at ends and back Driven by air not electricity Replaces drilled pipe and open jets or nozzles used for blowoff, cleaning, drying and cooling High airflow amplification Instant on-off, no electricity or explosion hazard
Air Knife X-Stream Benefits
Longer life in difficult environments than competitive Lower compressed air consumption than drilled pipe or rows of open jets and nozzles Can be placed end to end for continuous airflow Maintenance free with output easily controlled, safe to use Lower noise levels at 69 dBA and less with smaller space
Air-Knife X-Stream HOW IT WORKS
Compressed air enters the Air Knife X-Stream at the rear (or end) ports at (A). Air is
entrained at point (B) and (D) by the compressed air streamthat leaves the Air Knife
X-Stream from a small gap at point (C). Theentrained air follows the profile that directs
the airflow in aperfect straight line to create a uniform sheet of air alongthe entire length of the Air Knife X-Stream. The amplifiedair stream maximizes velocity and force is maintained
as awell defined sheet of laminar flow with minimal wind shearfor reduced energy use in
blowoff and cooling

Use of Shims
We use ONLY stainless steel shims in their Air Knife products as plastic shims wear outover time and requirereplacement, even with relatively clean air systems
Stainless steel shims are .002” (.050 mm).
However,velocity and force can be increased approximately 30% by adding a second .002”
(.050 mm) shim. Shims may be stacked up to 5 sets
If usingthree or more sets however, the air inlets at the “ends” should be used to maintaineven flow along the Air Knife system. Otherwise a slight dropin pressure and flow will occuracross from the rear inlet ports if they are used with three or more shims
Air-Knife X-Stream Mounting
M6 Mounting holes are provided for easy mounting of the Air Knife X-Stream. In addition, the holes at the bottom ofthe unit may also be used for mounting
Accessories
It is important to keep the air supplyclean and dry. We recommend a water removal filter with a float type automatic drain with a minimumfiltration of 5 micron. If there is a chance of oil in thelines, we suggest an oil removal filter as well with aminimum filtration of 0.3 micron, also with anautomatic drain.To minimize air use, we recommend aregulator with gauge to set the minimum pressurenecessary to operate the system
OPTIONAL Air-Knife X-Stream COUPLING KIT
This one piece kit c/w 10 stainless steel screws connects any two or more Air Knife X-Stream of 6” or larger together to make a longer blowoff system to covergreater distances
