Components such as blow off nozzles, air knifes, industrial blowers

Air Cannon Nozzles

 

AF1’s patented Air Cannon Nozzles deliver high-velocity, targeted air blasts that often exceed 10,000 fpm (feet per minute) at a distance of 18 inches or more (depending on system requirements). These blow off nozzles are ideal for removing stubborn dust and debris, steel shot, rapid heating, drying, or cooling, controlling static electricity, and other applications requiring powerful, focused air blasts.

 

  • Material: Spun aluminum construction – durable, lightweight, and easy to integrate.

  • Size: Standard 2", 4", 6" and 8” diameter blow off nozzles, or custom sizes to meet your needs.

  • Outlet Configuration: Single or multiple outlets for targeted or widespread air delivery.

  • Accelerator insert maximizes range, air velocity and impact for superior performance.

  • Machined handle with pipe clamps ensures secure mounting and precise positioning.

  • Mounting solutions are customized to seamlessly integrate with your existing equipment.

  • Optional coatings protect against abrasion and chemical exposure.

  • Hard anodized finish provides a professional look and additional corrosion resistance.

Air Knives

 

AF1 Air Knives deliver a continuous, laminar sheet of high-velocity air along the full blade length, providing unparalleled precision for cleaning, drying, cooling, and static control in your manufacturing processes. Durable hard anodized aluminum or stainless-steel construction ensures reliable performance in even the most demanding conditions.

 

  • Material: Hard anodized aluminum or stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance.

  • Length: 6" to 240" common range, but custom lengths available upon request.

  • Orifice size is adjustable to fine-tune air velocity, impact and volume.

  • Standard or custom profiles to match your product or process contours.

  • Mounting options include flanges, brackets, and clamps for easy installation.

Direct Drive Blowers

 

AF1’s corrosion-resistant Direct Drive Industrial Blowers are the powerhouse behind our custom solutions. Designed and manufactured in-house, these blowers provide exceptional efficiency and unmatched reliability, delivering consistent performance and longevity.

 

  • Materials: Choose from corrosion-resistant metals, high-temperature plastics, and other specialized options. Non-sparking designs for the Class 1, Div 1 (Hazardous Location) applications are available.

  • Configurations: Select standard configurations or request custom designs to fit your space and mounting needs.

  • Customizable to meet your specific needs, including airflow performance, materials, configurations, and integrated solutions.

  • Integrate with automated controls, filtration systems, air knives, and air cannon nozzles for a complete blow off solution.

  • Direct connection between the motor shaft and impeller is common and eliminates energy losses associated with belts and pulleys, maximizing power delivery to your process, as well as minimizing maintenance and break downs.

  • Virtually maintenance-free – our industrial blowers commonly have no belts or pulleys to replace, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

  • Heavy-duty materials and robust construction ensure reliable operation in harsh industrial environments.

  • Precisely engineered impellers deliver consistent airflow for optimal results.
