Compressed Air Blow-Off Force is Too Low If your blow-off nozzle, air knife, jet, or amplifier force is too low, it could be from several factors that need to be checked. Compressed air is an energy source that […]

This video provides a cost-effective solution to collect and convey dust a long distance without electricity. Portable and simple. Annual air (flow) amplification products such as Nex Flow Air Amplifiers operate by utilizing the Coanda effect to draw […]

When a compressed air flow amplifier gets dirty, there is no need to remove the units from the line. Nex Flow compressed air-operated Air Amplifiers are annular flow amplifiers often called “air movers.”  They utilize the Coanda effect […]

Recognizing the effect of pressure drop in your compressed air system is essential to ensure your equipment is working optimally. Except for possibly compressed air leaks, the greatest waste of using compressed air is not addressing unnecessary pressure […]

A Better Way to Cleanup with Compressed Air Its better to vacuum using compressed air for cleanup for safety reasons. Units are available with attachments for this purpose.

There are two angles to consider when utilizing a compressed air-operated air knife – the impingement and sweep angles. The impingement angle is the angle of the air knife when aimed at a target that is being dried […]

There are certain factors to consider when using an adjustable or non-adjustable vortex tube cooling system.

When purchasing a vortex tube device, you must examine the material, construction, adjustability, and noise abatement. The vortex tube is a unique device that separates compressed air into a hot and cold stream.   The concept was discovered in […]

Nex Flow Air Products has participated in several industrial trade exhibitions, directly or through our various representatives worldwide. Typically a great deal of traffic comes by when we demonstrate our products.  For various reasons, Nex Flow compressed air-operated […]

Nex Flow compressed air-operated air knives are produced in two versions.   The standard version operates by having compressed air exit the knife for a specially designed surface and mix with atmospheric air to produce a laminar flow of […]

Industrial cameras, as well as all sorts of sensors, are increasingly used in industrial applications.  Many of these are in very hot and humid areas that can also often be difficult to reach, making maintenance difficult.   This requires […]

Nex Flow Ring Blade air wipes are popular for drying extruded parts.    Air Wipes in general, have been available for years and are typically designed per application.   Usually, using compressed air (which makes them compact), the energy used […]

Cleaning Statically Charged Surfaces with Air Knives and Amplifiers Air amplification products such as air knives and amplifiers combined with anti-static devices can save energy and clean better.   Important factors to consider in its application are illustrated.

What to look for in a flat air nozzle Flat air nozzles are a popular compressed air operated blow off product and comes in different materials and designs.   For the optimum one to use, there are specific things […]

What is the Amplification Ratio in Compressed Air Operated Air Amplifiers? In compressed air amplification technology for blow off the term amplification ratio is often used.  What it really means and the implication of the ratio is important […]
