Air blow-off nozzles for use in bakeries

Air blow-off systems use high-speed air currents to remove unwanted debris from a product line.  This debris can be fluid or solid matter.  Normally speaking the removal of solids is limited to fairly dry, non- sticky residues and, similarly, liquids removal is normally not possible with air systems if it is very viscous and sticky.  Nevertheless, air blow-off systems are an efficient and easy way to remove unwanted particles from a huge variety of manufacturing processes.

Compressed air vs blower 

There are two basic methods of achieving the necessary air currents for air blow off. Either a fan or blower device can be installed or a compressed air system can be used. 

Our sister company The Air Nozzle People supplies the world leading EXAIR brand of compressed air products, including air knives, air nozzles, air amplifiers, cabinet coolers and more. Each product is designed to enhance the action of the supply of compressed air, improving the efficiency of the application in question. With such a large range we have the correct product for almost all air moving applications.

Nozzle types used 

Four basic nozzle types are used in air blow-off systems.

Simple air nozzles are used for spot blow off systems where a precise jet of air is required to target a specific point.  

To broaden the target area but with a corresponding reduction in impact, an air jet system might be deployed instead of an air nozzle. 

If a large area or production line needs treating then air knives, which produce a line of high-velocity air, are used. 

Finally, for very high impact systems an flat air nozzles may be deployed.
