Plastics Industry Applications Using Ring-Blade™ Air Wipe System From Nex Flow™

A Model 20002, 2" Ring-Blade™ Air Wipe System is used to blow excess water off extruded automotive trim. Previous systems were noisy and used too much compressed air. The cone shaped blow-off profile allowed for adequate water removal inside the grooves and worked well at high speeds. The use of stainless steel shims as a standard in the Ring Blade air wipes allowed as well for essentially maintenance free operation.
