Air Knife Systems
Anodised Aluminium - AK05 / AK08
ACI air knives are a precision engineered plenum chamber. They are
designed to produce an efficient, effective, clean, high-velocity air curtain
that remove surface debris, dust, water and any other liquids that can form
or pool during manufacturing processes.
Powered by a centrifugal blower, ACI air knives are ideal production tools for all
surface ‘blow’-off’ and cleaning applications. They are well suited to even the
toughest of industrial environments and are available in many configurations and
materials.
