Vortec air knives are used for efficient blowing, drying, and cleaning of wide surfaces in industrial processes. An air knife delivers a flat, uniform, high-velocity air blade that enables precise air knife blow off of water, dust, and process residues—without mechanical fans or electrical heating elements.
Vortec Air knife systems are particularly well suited for applications involving moving materials such as films, sheets, strips, panels, and continuous production lines where uniform air distribution across the full width is critical to process quality.
A Vortec air knife functions as an air amplifier, where a relatively small amount of filtered compressed air is converted into a powerful, laminar air blade. This Vortec air knife blower effect ensures even airflow along the entire length of the knife, providing stable and uniform blow off across the surface.
Vortec’s patented air knife design delivers high air velocity, excellent uniformity, and low noise levels—without moving parts and without the need for electricity at the application point.
Northern Grafics is a distributor of Vortec air knives in Europe. Our Air Knife Selector allows you to filter by total length (mm) and compressed air consumption (SLPM) to quickly identify the air knife system that fits your process requirements.
