Why is proper sizing of the Air Wipe so important?
It is critical to size the air wipe properly in order to obtain maximum drying power yet still maintain the lowest possible air consumption. The diameter of the product will dictate the size of the air wipe which is needed. Generally speaking, the diameter of the product is in the range of 50 – 90% of the air wipe orifice size. This will insure sufficient clearance to allow the air to circulate around the product. Too large or too small of a gap between the product and the air wipe chamber will not allow sufficient air flow to effectively remove the liquid.
