EXAIR’s Air Wipes™ (ring blades) are like an air knife that is bent around in a circle. The target product then passes through the circle and experiences air blow-off force from all directions.
In addition to the blades themselves, ANP also offers a variety of shims that can be used to increase the gap in the ring blade and thus increase air flow and impact.

MODELS
EXAIR’s Standard Air Wipe™ is a good choice when the added durability of stainless steel screws, shims and hose are not required. 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. Kits include the Standard Air Wipe, shim set, filter separator and pressure regulator (with coupler).
EXAIR’s Super Air Wipe™, with stainless steel hardware and shims, provides a uniform 360° airstream that is ideal for blowoff, drying, cleaning and cooling of pipe, cable, extruded shapes, hose, wire and more. Models up to 4″ diameter include stainless steel braided hose which feeds both halves from one compressed air inlet. The split design offers easy clamping around the surface of the material moving through it, eliminating the need for threading. Available from stock in diameters from 3/8″ to 11″ and made from aluminum or type 303 stainless steel. Custom sizes and materials are available.
