Air Knives to Clear Conveyor in Case of Fire
The customer uses peat moss as a component in their performance growing media. Part of the processing involves moving the peat by way of flat bed, belted conveyors. An important characteristic of the application is that risk of fire is quite high so the customer has their plant built in such a way that they have fire suppression doors and fire walls built throughout the plant. The purpose of the air knives is to blow back the peat moss so that the fire doors can close down completely onto the belt. The customer is using a combination of different size Aluminum Super Air Knives including Models 110042, 110036, 110030 and 110024 for different widths of conveyor.
