The Cutting Edge of Process Productivity

High Performance Air Knife Systems

We have designed drying and cleaning systems for virtually every type of industrial air-knife application; for almost every major industry.

SolvAir is the European Sales and Service Centre for Paxton Products who have been a leading pioneer in Air Knives and high-flow Centrifugal Blower development for the past 25 years. Our experience has led to our expertise in the design of efficient and effective Air Knife Drying Systems. As Air Flow Systems experts, we have refined today’s Air Knife designs for “precision drying”, including coating control, air curtains, removing dust and unwanted materials, as well as many other valuable applications.

Air Knife System Setup

Air Knife Systems use a precision-engineered linear slot to direct and utilise high velocity air from a centrifugal blower to:

  • Dry and remove liquid films from surfaces
  • Control surface coating
  • Blow off dust and debris
  • Convey, hold down or cushion materials with air
  • Cool/heat materials
  • Provide air curtain/barrier
  • Neutralise static charges

Substantial Energy Savings

If your plant uses compressed air or thermal processes (using banks of heaters), installing the more efficient Paxton Air Knife system can eliminate as much as 80% of the total energy consumption with superior results. Heater banks can be eliminated.
