Extrusions

Fast, effective blow off is critical to maintaining production rates. Paxton air systems not only blow off fast, but enhance the quality by eliminating oils and scales associated with compressed air. In addition to this, Paxton air systems use 1/5 of the energy of compressed air. Highest quality, lowest energy usage. 

Benefits:

• Reduced energy consumption (and costs) by eliminating compressed air -> Paxton blowers use only 20% of the energy that an air compressor does
• Improved product quality due to elimination of oils and scales associated with compressed air
• Reduced production costs due to elimination of compressed air 
• Reduced product quality rejects due to ineffective drying processes

Paxton Products Used:

• Air Knives -> Available in Aluminum and 304 Stainless Steel, Paxton Air Knives feature a continuous, uninterrupted air slot design that delivers uniform air coverage over targeted areas with a standard gap setting of 0.055 inches
  • 304 Stainless Steel construction of Air Knives enable them to withstand the harsh detergents and chemicals used in washdown facilities
• Nozzle Manifold -> air manifold that features individual nozzles to provide targeted air flow for drying and/or blowing air into or on the surface of products to target pain points
• Ionizing Rinsing Systems -> efficiently removes particulates, dust, and debris from surfaces without the need for water; designed to dissipate the static charges that cause debris to adhere to surfaces, and then air blasts them away using ultra-efficient, blower-driven air
• PowerDry™ Drying System -> Paxton's patented drying system developed as an energy saving alternative to compressed air. It's a complete, ready-to-use unit that efficiently delivers substantial air power to replace several blow-off devices and can be adapted to a variety of drying applications
  • Configure your system with either an Inline Manifold or a Spyder Manifold to ensure that you're reaching maximum versatility in your drying operations
• PX-Series Centrifugal Blower - belt-driven, centrifugal blower
  • Unmatched Three-Year Warranty on all Paxton Products PX-Series Blowers
• Centrifugal Blower Enclosures -> constructed of polypropylene, used to protect your centrifugal blower from water, dirt, and other environmental factors in production facilities

Other Applications:

• Drying extruded strips of tire rubber after cooling
• Blowing debris off of vinyl siding prior to washdown
• Blowing-off industrial cleaning solution from wire prior to rolling the final product
• Drying metal rods prior to packaging
• Air rinsing plastic film prior to printing
