Air-Blade™ Curved Air Knife - Compressed Air Consumption Chart

Why Choose US over Others?

Our aluminum air knives are anodized for longer life and superior quality over most competitors – two aluminum versions available gold color anodized for most applications and hard anodized for abrasive environments or where material may come in contact with the air knife.

Stainless steel shims are a standard when many competitors use plastic which can wear out quickly

Mounting holes for easy mounting without the need to dismantle the air knife

except for the smallest sizes, air inlet ports at the ends or the back allow for flexible air inlet choice, air use and high flow to�higher force jets
