ALFA Blower and Air Knife Systems
ALFA Blower Blowing Drying Air Knives
Advantages of Blower Blowing and Drying Systems
ALFA AIRSAFE blower and air knife systems offer high-efficiency solutions developed for blowing, drying, stripping, and surface cleaning applications. Unlike compressor-driven air knives, centrifugal blower systems generate a high air flow rate at low pressure, performing the exact same task with significantly lower energy consumption.
While compressed air systems typically produce 6–8 bar of pressure, a pressure of only 0.15 – 0.20 bar is sufficient for most blowing and drying applications. Therefore, blower technology eliminates unnecessary energy losses, delivering up to 90% energy savings compared to compressed air.
Technical Specifications and Details
Why Should a Blower Be Used for Blowing and Drying?
- Up to 90% energy savings
- High airflow at low pressure
- Oil-free and clean air production
- Faster drying thanks to an average outlet air temperature of 45°C
- Maintenance-free operation
- Low initial investment cost
- Easy installation and portable structure
- Quiet and long service life
Compressed air is efficient for generating force in cylinder, piston, and press applications. However, high pressure is not required for blowing and drying applications. Therefore, blower systems are both a more economical and more efficient solution.
Circular Air Knives
Specially designed cast aluminum circular air knives have been developed for drying and stripping cylindrical products moving on production lines.
Main application areas:
- Cable production lines
• Plastic and rubber pipes
• Profile production
• Gasket and sealing strip production
• Rods and extrusion products
They increase production speed by quickly removing water, oil, and process fluids from products exiting washing or cooling processes.
Air Knife Systems
ALFA AIRSAFE air knives convert the high-volume air supplied by blowers into a thin and powerful air curtain, effectively removing water, oil, dust, and particles from surfaces.
Products are manufactured according to the application with;
- Aluminum
- Stainless Steel (304 / 316)
material options.
All air knives are supplied with mounting brackets and can be easily installed on production lines.
Optionally;
- Centrifugal blower
- Air knife
- Manifold
- Hose
- Fittings and connection equipment
can be supplied as a complete set.
Applications
ALFA AIRSAFE blower and air knife systems are safely used in many industries.
- Drying of metal surfaces
- Cleaning of wooden surfaces
