Air-Knife
The air knife is a component that is typically installed on the sheet loader. It generates a precise, powerful, and uniform airflow across its entire length without lateral dispersion. This ensures that the sheets are reliably freed from dust and contaminants when being fed into the thermoforming machine, without damaging sensitive surfaces.
Use and Advantages of an Air Knife
Using an air knife, the sheets to be formed are automatically cleaned, ensuring a clean and consistent thermoforming process. An optional version with deionized air is also available. This neutralizes surface charges on the plastic sheets, allowing adhering dust particles to be removed more effectively and the sheets to be cleaned more thoroughly.
