And to provide an efficient solution where competitors\u2019 air knives may be too big and bulky to fit. Air knife systems tend to be larger than their compressed air counterparts. This is because air knives operate at much lower pressures (so they can save energy):<\/p>\n But the compact design of ACI air knives means you can now replace old and expensive compressed air systems where previously this may not have been possible.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” width_tablet=”90%” width_phone=”90%” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”0px|0px|0px|20px|true|false” custom_margin_tablet=”15px|40px||60px|false|false” custom_margin_phone=”15px|40px|0px|60px|false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_padding=”0px||0px|32px|false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”|||0px|false|false” custom_padding_phone=”|||0px|false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”30px” text_line_height=”1.1em” header_text_color=”#003366″ header_font_size=”25px” header_2_font_size=”25px” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”0px||30px||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_padding=”20px||||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”20px||||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”20px||||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” width_tablet=”90%” width_phone=”90%” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”5px|0px|25px|20px|false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”15px|40px||60px|false|false” custom_margin_phone=”15px|40px||60px|false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_padding=”0px||25px|32px|false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”|||0px|false|false” custom_padding_phone=”|||0px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||15px||false|false” custom_padding=”13px|30px|||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”|0px|||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”|0px|||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]This is a vital consideration. Virtually all ACI air knife systems run on three-phase power.<\/p>\n But significantly, it\u2019s not uncommon for operators to call in ACI because they\u2019re running out of power. They need to replace wasteful compressed air or DIY systems with energy-saving air knives<\/strong><\/span> to free up power for use elsewhere in the factory.<\/p>\n For optimum performance and maximum energy savings, it is important that each air knife plenum, nozzle or reciprocator delivers true laminar airflow \u2013 an even stream of air. This airflow must be balanced, with no underperforming low spots, no wasteful high spots and no air turbulence.<\/p>\n This is why some factories\u2019 DIY air systems perform so badly and waste money: they have not been configured correctly to meet the precise requirements of the application. Most of these DIY systems we\u2019re called in to replace are little more than plastic or metal tubes with hastily drilled air holes.

Moving air creates noise. And this noise increases on a logarithmic \u2013 rather than linear \u2013 progression. So it does not take much for noise levels to rise rapidly. This is why air knives tend to be installed within designated ear protection zones. Low-pressure air knives are much quieter than high-pressure compressed air systems. However, we recommend specifying acoustic enclosures:<\/p>\n It\u2019s also worth noting that air knives are much safer than compressed air.
