The X-Steam™ Air Blade air knife is normally the best choice due to very low noise levels  and it uses less air than a standard air blade air knife at the same pressure.   However the standard unit is lower in cost and has a slightly higher force at the same pressure. Either version may be mounted end to end for longer lengths of  continuous flow.

The new X-stream™ Curved Air Blade air knife is easy to mount and maintain and reduces both compressed air consumption and noise levels. It’s curved design produces an expanding, powerful blast of air in a fan shape to blow off wide areas and can minimize air use using longer air knives.

Air jets entrain large volumes of surrounding air through the jet (similar to air amplifiers) and are more efficient than air nozzles. They cover a larger blow-off target than a nozzle.

Nex Flow™ stainless steel Vortex Tube uses a metal (brass) generator as a standard item rather than cheap plastic for longer life and for applications in high temperature environments. (competitors would charge extra for that feature.) With virtually no moving parts, a vortex tube takes compressed air and converts it to cold air at one end and hot air at the other. Temperature as low as minus 50 degrees F (minus 460 C) can be achieved at the cold end and up to 260 degrees F (127 degrees C) at the hot end Vortex Tube are available in two basic sizes and in several packaged versions:

complete with a swivel base with magnetic attachment. Applications are where adjustability is required.  All Nex Flow™ adjustable spot coolers are stainless steel for long life.

Nex Flow™ offers specialty items to improve industry housekeeping and specialty applications utilizing air amplification and vacuum technology.  The following items utilize compressed air, eliminating the problems of high maintenance and short life span  from electrical vacuum and blower systems often used in these application.

X-Stream hand vac is a blow-off gun, and vacuum gun, and a transfer system in one package. It is used for vacuuming, the transfer of small parts, and cleanup up of chips, sawdust, coolant, etc. This low cost unit is an ideal package for maintenance.

Spray Booth Dry Air Gun: is a hand held air amplification system c/w screen to prevent dirt from being blown onto the spray booth wall to speed the cooling and drying of paint.

Nex Flow™ Efficient Use of Compressed Air – It has to be understood that compressed air is a high cost energy source. So there has to be a reason to use compressed air alternative products. ANY amplification technology, when used properly can get you excellent efficiencies. Because our compressed air products are generally light weight, can be turned on and off rapidly (so only used when necessary), and are low or no maintenance, their efficient use overall contributes well to the overall productivity of a production facility.
