Bottom Inlet Aluminum Alloy Air Knife with 0.1–4mm Precision Gap

Bottom Inlet Aluminum Alloy Air Knife with 0.1–4mm Precision Gap

Widest adjustable edge gap range in the lineup: 0.1 – 4.0 mm — covers ultra-fine precision drying through to high-volume industrial air curtain in a single unit

Bottom-only inlet design (M6 thread, Φ45 / Φ51 / Φ60) — keeps pipework below the knife body for clean, unobstructed overhead or flush-mount installations

Longest customizable length in the aluminum alloy range: 50 – 4000 mm — suitable from compact spot fixtures to wide-format production lines

Compact 60W × 90H mm low-profile cross-section — low vertical clearance requirement, easy integration into confined machine frames

High-temp silicone gasket seals (≤250°C) and full OEM/ODM support — factory direct, every unit calibrated to specification before shipment

Product Structure & Working Principle

A-D-Air-Knife-Design-drawings 

  • Low-profile aluminum alloy extrusion body (60W × 90H mm) — compact height reduces vertical clearance requirements without compromising internal air volume

  • Bottom inlet port (M6 thread) allows air supply piping to route cleanly downward, eliminating side or end protrusions that complicate machine frame integration

  • Internal plenum equalizes compressed air pressure from the bottom inlet across the full blade length before directing flow to the outlet slot

  • Tapered acceleration duct converts equalized plenum pressure into a high-velocity, uniform laminar air sheet at the adjustable knife edge

  • Outlet slot adjustable from 0.1 mm to 4.0 mm via precision edge screws — broadest range in the series, no disassembly required for gap changes

  • High-temp silicone gasket end seals (≤250°C) maintain airtight blade terminations across a wide range of operating temperatures

 

Application Scenarios

The A-D Air Knife's bottom inlet configuration and wide gap range make it the preferred choice for installations requiring clean pipework routing and versatile airflow control:

 Air_knife_multi-industry_usage_scenarios1 

PCB Cleaning Lines — bottom-feed installation fits neatly beneath conveyor frames; adjustable gap handles both flux removal and board drying

Surface Drying — Bottles, Containers & Parts — wide gap range accommodates varying throughput speeds and substrate geometries on the same drying station

Dust Removal — 0.1 mm minimum gap delivers precision particle displacement on flat panels, optical glass, and sensitive electronic assemblies

Overhead & Flush-Mount Installations — bottom inlet routes pipework away from the working surface, ideal for ceiling-mount or recessed machine-frame installations

Wide-Format Drying Lines — up to 4000 mm custom length covers glass, textile, metal sheet, and film production lines without knife-to-knife joints

Heated Process Equipment — high-temp silicone seals (≤250°C) allow integration into dryers, heat tunnels, and thermal treatment conveyor systems
