Air Curtain / Knife
The Air Curtain from Meech Air Technology provides an efficient blade of air for wide area blow-off and drying applications. When used to replace drilled or slotted lengths of pipe, which consume vast volumes of compressed air, the Air Curtain offers compressed air savings of up to 70%.

 
  APPLICATIONS:  
 
  • Product drying
  • Product cooling
  • Swarf contamination removal
  • Air saving: reduction of energy bills
  • Compressor demand reduction
  • Noise reduction
 
   
 

Powder Coating and Curing
Two Model A85024 600mm Air Curtains cool wheel rims as they exit powder coating ovens.

 
     
  DIMENSIONS:  
   
 

How it works:
The Air Curtain releases a small volume of compressed air through a .002” (.508mm) slot along its entire length. The ‘blade’ of air travels down the front face of the Air Curtain creating an area of low pressure behind it that entrains ambient air at a ratio of up to 25:1, delivering a massive airflow to the target.
