Hot air blowers heat, cure and dry
Said to be ideal for industrial drying, heating and curing, hot air blowers deliver a constant stream of hot air at up to 300 deg and can be used for testing products' heat resistance.
To tackle this problem, air movement-specialist Secomak has introduced an anti-static bar for its range of air knives.
Attached to the lower surface of the air knife, it neutralises any charged particles on the product surface, ensuring they are effectively removed.
This brings obvious benefits in terms of productivity and significantly reduces the number of rejects.
Applications are wide-ranging and include any industry where dust removal is hampered by static electricity.
A good example is the automotive industry, where dust needs to be effectively removed from plastic products such as bumpers, dashboards and headlamp reflectors prior to painting. Request a free brochure from Secomak ...
