X-Stream Curved Air-Blade Air Knife from Nex Flow
Air-Blade Air Knife is Cost Effective:
Example Of An Air Saving Calculation
1. From the chart showing air flow through a hole, assume we have a circle pipe 8 inches in overall length with 1/16" holes spaced ” apart with a total number of 15 holes. The air pressure in the system is 60 PSIG.
2. From the chart each 1/16" hole consumes 4.23 SCFM at 60 PSIG. Total air consumed is 15 X 4.23 = 63.45 SCFM.
3. From the Compressed Air Consumption Chart the Curved Air Blade air knife consumes 18.1 SCFM at 60 psig.
4. Assuming a compressed air cost of 30 cents/1000 standard cubic feet and an 8 hour day operation for 200 days per year, the Drilled Pipe Will Cost: 63.45 cu. ft./min. X 60 min./hr. X $.30/1000 cu. ft. X 200 days X 8 hrs/day equaling $1,827.00 a year.
5. The Curved Air-Blade Curved Air Knife X-stream Will Cost: : 18.1 cu. ft./min. X 60 min./hr. X $ .30/1000 cu. ft. X 200 days X 8 hrs/day equaling $480.00 a year
6. The Savings Per Year using the Curved Air-Blade Curved Air Knife X-Stream will be $1,827.00 - $ 480.00 = $1,306.00 per year!
