What are the requirements for the design principles of the air knife?

We all know that as industrialization becomes more and more widely used, more and more applications of air knives are involved. Because the air knife is extremely widely used, it is also convenient for many manufacturers and suppliers. Nowadays, air knives are mostly used to blow away moisture, dust, oil, and heat dissipation from the surface of products, but the design of the knives also differs in terms of equipment advantages. People in the industry also know that whether the air knife is easy to use is crucial to its own design. So what kind of design is more conducive to the use of air knife in industrial blow-drying? The editor came to the following points:

wind knife

1. Air source conditions: If a high-pressure blower cannot be installed on site, only a small-scale air knife design with compressed air can be used.


2: Site working environment: If the environment is harsh, the materials you need to choose are higher. Generally, the materials used are 304 stainless steel, aluminum alloy, iron, plastic, etc.


3. The direction of the air inlet of the air knife: Due to equipment installation and aesthetic requirements, it is generally necessary to confirm the direction of the air inlet of the air knife in advance.


4. Air inlet pipe diameter: The pipe diameter is related to the drying effect of the air knife. If the pipe is too long and exceeds 2m, the drying effect will be significantly reduced, and the air outlet cannot achieve stable pressure equalization.


5. Device fixation: This condition is relatively less important than the previous one. Of course, it needs to be recognized as the best and must not be careless.


6. Conditioning method: Whether the conditioning method is good or bad depends directly on the drying effect. It is recommended to use the best drainage method, the shape of the air knife, the angle of the air knife, etc. as much as possible.


7. Sealing method: If this factor is not taken into consideration, the designed air knife is likely to leak, and the effect will be greatly reduced or even useless. In addition, the design of the diversion and diversion system of the air knife is related to whether the wind speed of the air knife is uniform.


To better understand the design principles of the air knife, first determine the drying requirements of the product, whether it is fast or even pressure and stable. The shape of the product to be dried is also very different due to the different shapes of the products. For example, when drying flat-shaped glass, an open-type design is generally used. There is also the interval between the products to be dried. In many cases, the corresponding size of the air knife must be planned according to the interval to guide the wind speed. Since the on-site installation space of the equipment is often limited, the planning of the air knife needs to be compressed.
