Adjustable Air Knife | Slim Bottom Inlet Aluminum Alloy Air Knife | 0.2–4mm Gap

Adjustable Air Knife | Slim Bottom Inlet Aluminum Alloy Air Knife | 0.2–4mm Gap

Slim 55W × 100H mm cross-section with bottom-only M8 inlet — the narrowest bottom-inlet model in the range, designed for high-density or space-restricted installations

Wide adjustable edge gap: 0.2 – 4.0 mm — a single unit handles precision fine-mist drying at the low end and high-volume air curtain separation at the upper limit

Bottom inlet (M8 thread, Φ45 / Φ51 / Φ60) routes all pipework below the knife body — zero side or end clearance required, ideal for flush-mount and overhead configurations

Long customizable length: 50 – 4000 mm — accommodates everything from compact component drying jigs to wide-format industrial drying lines

High-temp silicone gasket seals (≤250°C), factory calibration, and full OEM/ODM support — every unit built and verified to your specification

Detailed Description

Product Key Selling Points

A-D-2_Air_Knife0 

  • Slim 55W × 100H mm cross-section with bottom-only M8 inlet — the narrowest bottom-inlet model in the range, designed for high-density or space-restricted installations

  • Wide adjustable edge gap: 0.2 – 4.0 mm — a single unit handles precision fine-mist drying at the low end and high-volume air curtain separation at the upper limit

  • Bottom inlet (M8 thread, Φ45 / Φ51 / Φ60) routes all pipework below the knife body — zero side or end clearance required, ideal for flush-mount and overhead configurations

  • Long customizable length: 50 – 4000 mm — accommodates everything from compact component drying jigs to wide-format industrial drying lines

  • High-temp silicone gasket seals (≤250°C), factory calibration, and full OEM/ODM support — every unit built and verified to your specification

 

Product Structure & Working Principle

A-D-2_Air-Knife-Design-drawings0 

  • Slim-profile aluminum alloy extrusion (55W × 100H mm) — 5 mm narrower than the A-D model, reducing lateral clearance requirements in multi-knife or confined-frame installations

  • Bottom inlet port with M8 thread accepts Φ45 / Φ51 / Φ60 air supply connections — directs compressed air upward into the blade body from below, keeping all pipework out of the working zone

  • Internal plenum distributes inlet air pressure evenly along the full blade length, eliminating velocity gradient from the feed point to the far end

  • Tapered acceleration duct channels equalized plenum pressure into a focused, high-velocity laminar air sheet at the adjustable outlet slot

  • Outlet gap adjustable from 0.2 mm to 4.0 mm via precision edge screws — wide operating range without disassembly or tooling changes

  • High-temp silicone gasket end seals (≤250°C) lock pressure inside the blade at both terminations, maintaining consistent airflow velocity across the full knife length

 

Application Scenarios

The A-D-2's slim bottom-inlet body makes it particularly well-suited to high-density multi-knife arrays, flush-mount machine frames, and any application where side or end clearance is limited:

Air_knife_multi-industry_usage_scenarios1 

  • PCB & Electronics Cleaning Lines — slim body fits between conveyor rails; bottom-feed keeps pipework away from the board surface

  • Surface Drying — Bottles, Parts & Precision Components — adjustable gap fine-tunes airflow intensity to match varying substrate sizes and conveyor speeds

  • Dust Removal on Flat Panels & Glass — 0.2 mm minimum gap delivers controlled, non-damaging particle displacement on sensitive optical and display surfaces

  • Multi-Knife Array Systems — 55 mm width enables tighter knife-to-knife spacing in parallel drying or air curtain array configurations

  • Overhead & Flush-Mount Installations — bottom inlet eliminates all lateral protrusions, allowing the knife to sit flush against machine frames or ceiling mounts

  • Heated Process Lines — silicone gasket seals rated to ≤250°C support integration into drying ovens, heat tunnels, and thermal conveyor systems
