Air Amplifiers:
Air Amplifiers are actually energy “converters” that convert the pressure from compressed air into useful and amplified air flow creating a simple, inexpensive means to move air, fumes, and light materials. Hence the original term “air movers”. Air Amplifiers use the “coanda effect” to entrain the surrounding air and create a high output flow. Because the energy normally lost as noise and pressure drop is converted to flow, the noise levels drop dramatically and the output flow is increased up to 25 times the air consumed.
Adjustable Air Amplifiers : anodized aluminum or stainless steel for high temperature or food applications. The customer can set the gap and lock it in place using a lock ring.
Fixed Air Amplifiers : zinc die cast Standard Air Amplfiers from Nex Flow™ are solid and perform as well or better than patented designs when used in similar applications. The gap can be adjusted by adding shims, five sizes are available.
Air Knives / Air Knife :
Nex Flow™ air knife “Air Blades™” dramatically reduce compressed air and noise levels as compared to other blow-off products. They provide a compact and efficient means to dry, clean and cool materials. Air knives operate by entraining the surrounding air along with the compressed air utilizing the “coanda” effect essentially converting energy which would normally be lost as noise and pressure drop into useful flow. No matter what anyone tells you, all air knives using the coanda effect are essentially the same in performance with negligible differences. However, how they are made is what is very important to make sure you get value for your money.
Air Consumption approx. 3.4 SCFM (82 SLPM) per inch (25.4 mm) at 80 psig (5.5 bar) with force and noise levels comparable to standard air knives of all types.
The X-Steam™ Air Blade air knife is normally the best choice due to very low noise levels and it uses less air than a standard air blade air knife at the same pressure. However the standard unit is lower in cost and has a slightly higher force at the same pressure. Either version may be mounted end to end for longer lengths of continuous flow.
The new X-stream™ Curved Air Blade air knife is easy to mount and maintain and reduces both compressed air consumption and noise levels. It’s curved design produces an expanding, powerful blast of air in a fan shape to blow off wide areas and can minimize air use using longer air knives.
Air Nozzles and Jets :
Nex Flow™ removes the confusion from air jets and air nozzles. You do NOT need hundreds of different nozzles. All air amplifying nozzles produce air flows up to 25 times the compressed air consumed. Different air nozzles have different outlet sizes and the more air used, the greater the force produced. Noise reduction up t0 10 dBA is typicall as well as reduced air consumption when compared to open jets and tubes.
Air jets entrain large volumes of surrounding air through the jet (similar to air amplifiers) and are more efficient than air nozzles. They cover a larger blow-off target than a nozzle.
Vortex Tube Technology and Spot Cooling :
Nex Flow™ stainless steel Vortex Tube uses a metal (brass) generator as a standard item rather than cheap plastic for longer life and for applications in high temperature environments. (competitors would charge extra for that feature.) With virtually no moving parts, a vortex tube takes compressed air and converts it to cold air at one end and hot air at the other. Temperature as low as minus 50 degrees F (minus 460 C) can be achieved at the cold end and up to 260 degrees F (127 degrees C) at the hot end Vortex Tube are available in two basic sizes and in several packaged versions:
complete with a swivel base with magnetic attachment. Applications are where adjustability is required. All Nex Flow™ adjustable spot coolers are stainless steel for long life.
cool and purge clean electrical and electronic control panels with no refrigerant, and virtually no maintenance. Eliminate over heating , humidity and dirt.
Tool Coolers :
Frigid-X™ Tool Cooling System for dry machining applications - replaces polluting and often toxic mist systems to improve dry machining operations. No mess, no residue and low in cost.
Air Conveyors - Ring-Vac™ Pneumatic Conveying System has virtually no moving parts, convey's air at high rates and long distances. Utilizing compressed air for a powerful, efficient venturi action along its length in a compact design for high capacity conveying over large distances.
Industrial Housekeeping :
Nex Flow™ offers specialty items to improve industry housekeeping and specialty applications utilizing air amplification and vacuum technology. The following items utilize compressed air, eliminating the problems of high maintenance and short life span from electrical vacuum and blower systems often used in these application.
Reversible Drum Angel (2-way reversible drum pump) is a system to fill or empty a drum in under 90 seconds. It is perfect for coolant sumps, general cleanup, and spill recovery.
X-Stream hand™ vac is a blow-off gun, and vacuum gun, and a transfer system in one package. It is used for vacuuming, the transfer of small parts, and cleanup up of chips, sawdust, coolant, etc. This low cost unit is an ideal package for maintenance.
Spray Booth Dry Air Gun: is a hand held air amplification system c/w screen to prevent dirt from being blown onto the spray booth wall to speed the cooling and drying of paint.
Optimization :
Nex Flow™ Efficient Use of Compressed Air – It has to be understood that compressed air is a high cost energy source. So there has to be a reason to use compressed air alternative products. ANY amplification technology, when used properly can get you excellent efficiencies. Because our compressed air products are generally light weight, can be turned on and off rapidly (so only used when necessary), and are low or no maintenance, their efficient use overall contributes well to the overall productivity of a production facility.
This device can be used to locate costly leaks in your compressed air system. Eliminating compressed air leaks can recover a tremendous amount of energy that can be used to operate all types of nozzles, amplifiers and vortex tubes with no added cost! Air savings means free energy.
All Nex Flow™ products are designed to improve plant efficiency by either reducing the compressed air used while in use, or in a way to reduce maintenance, or in another to improve productivity.
Nex Flow™ is your worldwide source for quality products related to specialized air flow applications, in particular air moving, air amplification, air conveying and air cooling.
Our aim is to provide the highest quality product at the lowest, competitive price with technical support as required and to address manufacturing operations in order to improve productivity and safety.
