Description
This specialized air knife is designed to provide a high-velocity, laminar air flow that is essential for removing excess water, oils, and contaminants from the surface of the metal after passing through the Prime Water Quench.
Function
The primary function of the Prime Air Knife is to remove any residual moisture or oils from the metal surface, which can interfere with the adhesion of the coating. This is achieved through a powerful, uniform air stream that is directed at the metal surface, effectively blowing away any contaminants and creating a clean, dry surface for the coating to adhere to.
Design
The Prime Air Knife is designed with precision and efficiency in mind. It is typically made of stainless steel, making it durable and resistant to corrosion. The knife features a narrow, elongated shape with a series of small holes along its length, which allows for a controlled and consistent air flow.
Connections
It is sent coil from Prime Water Quench and sends coil to Steering Unit #3 (along the Coil relationship)
It is sent air from Mainline Air Regulator (along the Compressed Air relationship)
