  • 3” Model 20003 standard unit for normal temperature applications and 3” Model 20003X where the unit is supplied with a stainless steel braided hose instead of a rubber hose for high temperature applications. Both models have a stainless steel shim as standard.
  • 4” Model 20004 standard unit for normal temperature applications and 4” Model 20004X where the unit is supplied with a stainless steel braided hose instead of a rubber hose for high temperature applications. Both models have a stainless steel shim as standard.
  • 6” Model 20006 standard unit for normal temperature applications and 6” Model 20006X where the unit is supplied with a stainless steel braided hose instead of a rubber hose for high temperature applications. Both models have a stainless steel shim as standard.
Special diameters for the Air Wipe Blow-Off System - Ring-Blade™ are available on special request from Nex Flow™.

Air Wipe Blow-Off System - Ring-Blade™ comes with a standard .002" outlet gap which will work for 90% of all applications encountered.

If greater force is required, a second .002" (.05mm) shim may be installed to open the gap for greater flow. Materials of construction aluminum.

Compressed Air Blow Off System Materials of Construction

All Ring-Blade? Air Wipes are coated aluminum construction with stainless steel shims and brass fittings. Standard units come with rubber hose connecting the twin pieces High temperature units come with stainless steel hose.

Compressed Air Blow Off System Is Cost Effective

Example Of An Air Saving Calculation
  1. From the chart showing air flow through a hole, assume we have a circular tube that is 4" in diameter. It has a circumference of 3.14159 X diameter or 12.57 inches. Assume it has 1/16" holes spaced ½” apart with a total number of 24 holes. The air pressure in the system is 60 PSIG.

  2. From the chart each 1/16" hole consumes 4.23 SCFM at 60 PSIG. Total air consumed is 24 X 4.23 = 101.52 SCFM.

  3. From the compressed air consumption chart , a 4" diameter Ring-Blade™ consumes 49 SCFM at 60 PSIG.

  4. Assuming a compressed air cost of 30 cents/1000 standard cubic feet and an 8 hour day operation for 200 days per year. The Drilled Circular Tube Will Cost:
    101.52 cu. Ft./min. X 60 min./hr. X $.30/1000 cu. Ft. X 200 days X 8 hrs/day
    = $2,923.78 a year!

  5. The Nex Flow™™ System Will Cost:
    49 cu. Ft./min. X 60 min./hr. X $ .30/1000 cu. Ft. X 200 days X 8 hrs/day
    = $1,411.20 a year!

  6. The Savings per year using the Nex Flow™™ System will be:
    $2,923.78 - $1,411.20 = $1,512.58 per year!
