Air curtains use less compressed air,
save energy
Air curtains offer reduced noise and compressed air usage as well as low initial and operating costs and the avoidance of electrical or explosion hazard.
Meech International said that its energy saving Air Curtain provides companies with a costs-saving replacement for the more traditional drilled or slotted lengths of pipe used for wide area blow-off and drying applications Using huge volumes of compressed air, this old, inefficient method is both noisy and expensive, said Meech to manufactuingtalk

By installing the Air Curtain compressed air savings can be as much as 70% and the noise reduction ensures employers are complying with the EU Noise Directive.
Meech air curtains are used in many applications including removing water from bottles, cans, glass or metal, part cleaning before painting, creating an 'air wall' between processes and for cleaning/ cooling conveyors and conveyed parts.
As well as reduced noise and compressed air usage, other advantages include low initial and operating costs and the avoidance of electrical or explosion hazard.
The Air Curtain releases a very small amount of compressed air at high speed through a 0.0508mm slot along its entire length.
This high-speed sheet of air entrains a large volume of surrounding air and effectively amplifies the compressed air flow up to 25 times.
The Meech aluminium Air Curtains are available in lengths between 80 and 1800mm.
Stainless steel units are also available and are ideal for corrosive or hazardous environments and perform identically to the aluminium units. Request a free brochure from Meech International ...
