Special diameters are available. Contact our factory. Compressed Air Inlets: The Standard Air Wipe has compressed air inlets on each half. General purpose compressed air hose is supplied with sizes up to 4" (102mm) that couples the air supply of one half to the other. Sizes 9" (229mm) and larger have two inlets on each half that must be supplied with compressed air to maintain uniform airflow. Filtration: The use of clean air is essential. Kits include an automatic drain filter with a 5 micron filter element that is sized properly for flow. Materials of Construction: The Standard Air Wipe is constructed of aluminum. All models use coated screws and plastic shims. General purpose PVC air hose is included with sizes up to 4" (102mm). Temperature: The Standard Air Wipe is rated for temperatures up to 150°F (66°C). Mounting: The Standard Air Wipe can be supported by the compressed air supply pipe. Tapped holes (1/4-20) on the downstream side of the Standard Air Wipe can also be used for mounting. Regulation: A pressure regulator on the compressed air supply provides infinite control of flow, force and air consumption. Kits include a pressure regulator that is sized properly for flow. Shim Sets: The Standard Air Wipe has a .002" (0.05mm) gap setting. The compressed air exhausts through a gap which is set with a plastic shim positioned between the cap and body of the Standard Air Wipe. Force and flow through the Standard Air Wipe may be easily increased by adding shims to open the gap. Kits include a shim set (three additional shims). Shim sets include two .001" (0.03mm) Amber color , .003" (0.08mm), Green color , and .004" (0.10mm) thick Tan color plastic shims. The Standard Air Wipe removes liquid from a plastic rod. Standard Air Wipe™ This hard-hitting 360° ring of airflow is the economical way to blowoff, dry, clean, and cool! What Is The Standard Air Wipe? EXAIR’s Standard Air Wipe provides a uniform 360° airstream that is ideal for blowoff, drying, cleaning and cooling of pipe, cable, extruded shapes, hose and more. The split design offers easy clamping around the surface of the material moving through it, eliminating the need for threading. Why The Standard Air Wipe? The Standard Air Wipe is a good choice when the added durability of stainless steel screws, shims and hose are not required. The Standard Air Wipe uses coated screws, plastic shims and a general purpose PVC coupling air hose on sizes up to 4" (102mm). The Standard Air Wipe is best suited to applications in non-corrosive environments where temperatures do not exceed 150°F (66°C). The dimensions and performance of this product are the same as that of the Super Air Wipe which is detailed on page 40.
