compressed air is available.
WindJet Air Knives
– Performance can be adjusted.
– Can be used as an exhaust device.
– Ideal for robotic applications.

Air Control Nozzles
Optimization Tips
• Realize a 20% to 50% utility cost savings by using WindJet® Air Control
nozzles instead of drilled holes in pipe or shop-fashioned flattened pipe.
Air Filters
• Specify the nozzle with the lowest flow available that meets your
application requirements to minimize air consumption and reduce noise.
• Efficient air control nozzle performance is dependent on proper filtration
of compressed air. Use a filter/separator to remove excess oil and water
just prior to the nozzles.
• Use a pressure regulator and gauge on the air line to keep pressure as
low as possible to minimize operating costs and noise and improve safety.
• When possible, increase the distance between the target surface and the
nozzle to reduce noise caused by air impacting the target.
• To reduce the number of nozzles required, position nozzles to wipe
sideways across a moving target at a comparatively shallow angle.
• When creating a curtain, place nozzles up to 12" (305 mm) apart
depending on the application.
Air Pressure Regulators
• Air control nozzles are available in many materials and can be used with
CO2, nitrogen, steam or other compatible gases for special heating or
cooling applications.
• In cleaning applications, angle the nozzles 15° to 45° to ensure the
contaminant is removed from the product surface.
• For simple, accurate adjustment of nozzle orientation, install adjustable
ball joints with air control nozzles.
