Drying wire and cable can be a tricky, expensive business. AIR JETS AIR WIPES use precision controlled air flow to save air, reduce noise and dramatically cut energy consumption.
SPLIT OPENING automatically passes knots and splices and features quick-change, bracket and air disconnects to make size changes a snap.
FIXED OPENING features protective ceramic inserts for bare wire applications.
RECTANGULAR OPENING handle strip and other profiles.
All versions feature very efficient, economical and quiet operation

 
 

Drying Cycle :
Wet materials enters rear of AIR JETS AIR WIPE   from a cooling through or quenching tank. Material is then exposed to a ring of drying air jets. Dry material exists the AIR JETS AIR WIPE, aided by an adjustable ceramic centering guide.

Drying Theory :
Controlled Air Flow

  Air is channeled through a manifold in the body and distributed to a ring of jets.

  Jet orifices restrict air flow to provide efficient drying at the lowest possible air consumption.

  Turbulence created by controlling air flow and direction removes water from the material surface.

  A Venturi effect is also created within the air wipe further increasing air flow.

 
  Features:
High Efficiency
Design is based on the maximization of controlled, properly directed air flow.
A venturi effect is also created at the entrance, further increasing air flow.
Uses much less air than an open pressurized line or adjustable models.

Very Economical

Significantly cuts operating costs vs. adjustable or centrifugal blowers.
Uses approximately 0.016 m3/min. per air jet at 2.8 bar (0.56 SCFM at 40 PSI).

Extremely Quiet

Low air flow provides a measurable decrease in noise level output.

Produces only 75 db at 3.5 bar (50 PSI).

Versatile Applications

Dries wire, cable, plastic, tubing, strip and extrusions after cooling immersion.
Ensures proper inspection, testing, printing, packaging and storage.
Non Corrosive Materials

Solid UHMW polyethylene bodies, removable brass jets, non-marking ceramic guides, stainless brackets.

Custom Teflon, stainless or aluminum bodies and stainless jets available.

Critical Sizing

Properly sized tolerances dry various products better than adjustable models.
Quick – disconnect air line fittings and brackets allow fast size changes.
  DIFFERENT MODELS:

There are three different Models available to choose from. Each model caters to specific needs. See following details to choose correct model

SPLIT OPENING MODEL

Split block, spring-hinged design allows knots, splices and other oversize irregularities to pass through without stopping production.

Easily opened bodies allow quick thread up or line replacement.
Snap on mounting brackets offer quick changes and allow either right-left or left-right line direction.
Three bracket sizes handle the full range of standard AIR JETS AIR WIPE.
Adjustable centering guide with long wearing ceramic cradle offers proper exit alignment.
Convenient handle offers quick, easy guide adjustments without tools.
FIXED OPENING MODEL

Ceramic inserts offer safe protection needed for bare wire applications.

Non opening, low profile body easily fits into tight process lines.
Offered with either flat or angled (90 Degree) mounting brackets.
RECTANGULAR OPENING MODEL

Rectangular Wipe handles strip, multiple lines and custom shapes.

Standard 0.125” and 0.250” (3.2-6.4mm) high openings are available in widths from 1.00”- 4.00” (25.4101.6mm).

Split block, spring – hinged design simplifies thread up.
Custom sizes and profiles available.
