Why The Super Air Wipe™?
Prior to the introduction of the Super Air Wipe, the only way to blowoff, dry, clean and cool these surfaces was to use a ring of air nozzles. The high air consumption and noise levels of the nozzles along with inconsistent air velocity often delivered poor results. | 
The Model 2402 2" (51mm) Super Air
Wipe cools PVC pipe as it is ejected
from an extruder. |
The Super Air Wipe provides a high volume, high velocity airflow that is uniformly ejected from the 360° of its inner diameter. Velocity can be varied from a “blast” to a “breeze”. Air consumption and noise are low.
 Super Air Wipe Is Easy To Use
There is a 1/4 NPT female inlet on each half of the Super Air Wipe on sizes up to 7" (178mm). Larger sizes include two 1/4 NPT female inlets on each half in order to maintain proper air volume and performance. Aluminum Super Air Wipes up to 4" (102mm) include a brass tee that supplies one half directly and a stainless steel wire braided coupling hose rated at 400° (204°C) to supply the other half.
|
| Stainless steel Super Air Wipes up to 4" (102mm) include a stainless steel tee and a stainless steel wire braided coupling hose rated at 800° (427°C). Larger sizes should be piped directly. Tapped holes on the back are provided for permanent mounting if the Super Air Wipe is not held in place with rigid pipe. | 
The Super Air Wipe eliminates the
possibility of smoke during machining by wiping hydraulic oil from the bar stock as it enters the chuck. |
| Coupling brackets that hold each half of the Super Air Wipe together are provided which can be installed or removed quickly if required. Changing Performance By Adding Shims
The compressed air exhausts through a gap which is set with a shim positioned between the cap and the body of the Air Wipe.
|
| The Super Air Wipe is shipped with a .002" (.05mm) thick stainless steel shim installed which works best for most applications. Force and flow may be easily increased by adding shims to open the gap. Increasing the gap opening offers higher velocity and harder hitting force. Air consumption and noise will be slightly higher. |

Wipe cleans a steel rod after processing. |
| Super Air Wipe shim sets include two .002" (.05mm) stainless steel shims that can be stacked. Shim sets are included with all kits or can be purchased separately. |
| The Standard Air Wipe is shipped with a .002" (.05mm) thick plastic shim installed which works best for most applications. Force and flow may be easily increased by adding shims to open the gap. Increasing the gap opening offers higher velocity and harder hitting force. Air consumption and noise will be slightly higher. | 
A Model 2431 1" (25mm) Standard Air Wipe blows off the excess coating from a wire into a dip tank. |
| Standard Air Wipe shim sets are available that include one each of a .001" (.03mm), .003" (.08mm), and .004" (.10mm) thick shims. Shim sets are included with all kits or can be purchased separately. |
