Drying System Options
Customer's products and applications will naturally vary in size and complexity enormously. Because of this ACI has developed a number of air delivery options and accessories that have been specifically designed to give effective and reliable results.
Airknives (Anodised Aluminium / Stainless Steel)
- Tailoured to customer specific requirements
- Available in aluminium alloy anodised AA25 (with Stainless Steel 304 fittings) or in Stainless Steel 304/316.
- Available in two diameters – 50mm (AK05) and 76mm (AK08)
- Adjustable slot width
- Available in lengths of 10mm increments with a maximum of up to 4.5 metres
- Stainless Steel options are available in a wide variety of shapes including chevrons, squares and multiple angles
- Various mounting options available; with longer and/or multiple inlets if necessary

Reciprocating Nozzles
- Simple to install and operate, ACI's reciprocating nozzle systems are ieally suited for removing water and debris from larger conveyorised products that may require a more vigorous airflow action for satisfactory results.
- The 'back and forth' movement of the flexible nozzles has the effect of throwing the air vigrously towards product.
- This 'recriprocating' action combined with the high volume, low pressure air culminates in an airflow that effectively dislodges moisture and debris from awkward areas, including blind holes.
- ACI's reciprocator nozzles are fabricated from a rrobust but flexible and hardwearing material. This has the added benefit of removing any risk of damaging conveyed product when passing through the drying system.
- ACI can supply fully ducted systems in either galvanised mild steel or stainless steel.
- Applications that have benefitted from ACI Reciprocating Systems include surface preparation of intricate and large engineered components , automotive bumpers and car bodies, basked and crate drying.

Static Neutralisation Bars
- ACI can supply Airknife Systems fitted with static neutralisation bars . These have the effect of producing a high velocity, precisely controlled bladed of ionised air which can then be utilised in an assortment of surface cleaning and static neutralisation applications.
- With an airspeed of up to 110m/second these system produce a high performance, thorough removal of statically attracted contaminants.
- The running cost is typically 80% less than a similar compressed air system.
-
- A complete range of accessories is available: Filters, pipework, fittings, flow valves, silencers, acoustic enclosures
