SUPER SCRAPER OF AIR FOR CONVEYOR BELTS MODEL: 2500 RATPowerful and Quiet Compressed Air
Blinds Drastically Reduce
Consumption! Its performance of
amplification of compressed air is of
40: 1
SUPER AIR SCRAPER FOR CONVEYOR BELTSThe Super Air Scraper for Conveyor Belts is the new generation of air curtains that dramatically reduce consumption and noise; Compared to other scraper systems. It is the most efficient way to clean conveyor belts by compressed air. It delivers a laminar flow, uniform and powerful along its entire length. Its amplification performance is 40: 1, which makes it suitable for most applications. This is a novel system and compact design. It complies with OSHA requirements, and has no moving parts, which makes it a maintenance-free application
Energy Cost Reduction The most efficient way to reduce Energy Costs is through proper maintenance and the use of systems that reduce the consumption of compressed air. Energy savings can also be achieved. The super scraper uses only 1/3 of the compressed air compared to other systems
Reduction of Noise Levels High noise levels are a common problem in most industrial plants. The sound produced by compressed air often exceeds OSHA restrictions resulting in a hearing loss over time for people in the environment. The noise level of the Super Air Scraper is below 70 dBA for pressures of 5.5 bar. By using this scraper it is possible to obtain a high impact force on the conveyor belt, without high levels of noise.
OPERATION OF THE SUPER AIR SCRAPER FOR BELTS CONVEYORSThe Compressed Air enters through the inlet (1) of the Super Air Scraper to a distribution chamber. This flow is directed to a precisely slotted hole. When this primary flow leaves the groove (2), it follows a flat surface which directs the air stream in a perfectly straight line. This creates a uniform sheet of air through the entire length of the Super Air Scraper. The velocity is minimized while the force is maximized by the ambient air (3) which is drawn into the primary stream with an increase of 40: 1. The result is a defined constant laminar flow and a strong impact force on the belt.
ADVANTAGE*Quiet robust and compact.
* Low consumption of compressed air.
* 40: 1 amplification. Uniform flow throughout its length.
* Easy to install-Air supply at both ends.
* No moving or maintenance parts.
* Flow and variable force, according to your need.
