The use of air nozzles is the focus of a new publication from Spraying Systems Co. This 24-page guide explains the benefits of using air nozzles rather than open pipes or pipes with drilled holes for drying and blow-off. Detailed information is provided on the improvements in process control and reductions in noise and compressed air consumption users can expect when using air nozzles.

A wide variety of air products that use compressed air are reviewed. Air nozzles, low flow air knives, variable air amplifiers and air nozzle accessories are among the products featured. Best uses, benefits and typical applications are presented for each product along with complete performance data. A helpful reference section that addresses key considerations in air nozzle specification – coverage, sound, lineal impact force and specific impact force – is also provided.

Air knife packages that use regenerative blower air instead of compressed air are summarized as well. These customizable packages offer economical operation and are ideal for use in applications that require a continuous stream of clean, heated air.
