Characteristics of compressed air nozzles
The air nozzles product division is classified into the following categories: compressed air driven nozzles and air blower driven nozzles. These categories distinguish from one another based on how the air is supplied towards the nozzle and require different installations due to that fact. Because of their unique properties, a certain air nozzle category is indicated to be implemented for a particular set of applications.
For compressed air driven nozzles, the air supply comes from the production of compressed air generated by the powered compressors that release the air at a stable pressure. The compressed air is incorporated in the compressed air nozzles as their fundamental manner of air blow booster.
Advantages of Ikeuchi air nozzles
Selecting and utilizing IKEUCHI’s technical air nozzles provides you with a great advantage compared to free exhaust pipes: they require a lower consumption of compressed air flow. Thus, the installation’s operating costs are decreased, and implicitly, your energy costs are reduced.
We developed the IKEUCHI air nozzles to maximize the blowing efficiency. The wide range of models offers the possibility to choose the most suitable nozzle for each application, optimizing the required blowing force and airflow. This complete design decreases the cost of compressed air and provides better control of blowing accuracy for each application.
Applications
Each product is specialized to types of applications, depending mostly on their design as a compressed air nozzle. The flat design is recommended for uniform objects that do not contain sharp angles, bend, or concave/convex surfaces. This is thanks to its alignment of nozzle orifices and intake holes that provide a uniform impact distribution. For the round design, this is applied in cases where pieces have irregular shapes or recesses. The nozzles from this category have the orifices arranged in a circle that leads to directing a round blowing pattern. Regarding the slit design, some nozzles are suited for tight spaces and smaller equipment, while are optimal to cover large spaces thanks to their wide angle. In this case, the wide flat blow or uniform sheet of air is developed from a thin slit nozzle orifice.
Flat, compact, round, we offer several shapes of nozzles’ orifices for different applications, such as:
- Drying
- Blow off particles
- Cleaning
- Cleaning
- Rejections of objects
- Air curtain
Different types of material
The material from which the nozzles are fabricated is stainless steel. Moreover, the type of stainless steel utilized, S303 or S304, is directly connected to the nozzle’s model and the processes in which they are implemented. Regarding the SLNHA-H series, the product is manufactured either from S304 or from PVC. Each material is suited to fit a certain type of application and satisfy your requirements. Choosing the adequate material should be considered following the given parameters:
- Application temperature
- Environments with hygienic requirements
- Possibility of mechanical or chemical aggressions
- Need for absence of metallic elements
Noise level
To comply with the OSHA noise level requirements and regulations, Ikeuchi designed and tested its compressed air-driven nozzles to make sure of the level of noise produced. By doing so, the compressed air driven nozzles provide a reduction in noise between -9 dB(A) and -38 dB(A) from the overall total noise level, thus, abiding by the OSHA noise regulations of 8 hours workday exposure to noise levels below the average 85 dB(A).
Benefits of using Ikeuchi air nozzles
We developed our Ikeuchi air nozzles to maximize the blowing efficiency by providing a uniform and powerful air stream impact.
Ikeuchi air nozzles provide a reduction in noise between -9 dB(A) and -38 dB(A) from the overall total noise level.
Ikeuchi’s air nozzles require a lower consumption of compressed air flow. This leads to a reduction in energy costs and installation costs.
