Nex Flow™ Air Products Corp.

Air Amplifiers / Air Mover are actually energy “converters” that convert the pressure from compressed air into useful and amplified air flow creating a simple, inexpensive means to move air, fumes, and light materials. Hence the original term “air movers”.  Air Amplifiers use the “coanda effect” to entrain the surrounding air and create a high output flow. Because the energy normally lost as noise and pressure drop is converted to flow, the noise levels drop dramatically and the output flow is increased up to 25 times the air consumed. 

Nex Flow™ Air Knives / Air Knife “Air Blades™” dramatically reduce compressed air and noise levels as compared to other blow-off products.  They provide a compact and efficient means to dry, clean and cool materials.   Air knives operate by entraining the surrounding air along with the compressed air utilizing the “coanda” effect essentially converting energy which would normally be lost as noise and pressure drop into useful flow.  No matter what anyone tells you, all air knives using the coanda effect are essentially the same in performance with negligible differences.  However, how they are made is what is very important to make sure you get value for your money.

Nex Flow™ removes the confusion from air jets and nozzles. You do NOT need hundreds of different nozzles. All air amplifying nozzles produce air flows up to 25 times the compressed air consumed. Different air nozzles have different outlet sizes and the more air used, the greater the force produced. Noise reduction up t0 10 dBA is typicall as well as reduced air consumption when compared to open jets and tubes.

Nex Flow™ stainless steel vortex tube uses a metal (brass) generator as a standard item rather than cheap plastic for longer life and for applications in high temperature environments. (competitors would charge extra for that feature.) With virtually no moving parts, a vortex tube takes compressed air and converts it to cold air at one end and hot air at the other. Temperature as low as minus 50 degrees F (minus 46 C) can be achieved at the cold end and up to 260 degrees F (127 degrees C) at the hot end . Vortex tube are available in two basic sizes and in several packaged versions:

Frigid-X™ Tool Cooling System for dry machining applications - replaces polluting and often toxic mist systems to improve dry machining operations. No mess, no residue and low in cost.

Nex Flow™ offers specialty items to improve industry housekeeping and specialty applications utilizing air amplification and vacuum technology. The following items utilize compressed air, eliminating the problems of high maintenance and short life span from electrical vacuum and blower systems often used in these application.

Nex Flow™ Efficient Use of Compressed Air – It has to be understood that compressed air is a high cost energy source. So there has to be a reason to use compressed air alternative products. ANY amplification technology, when used properly can get you excellent efficiencies. Because our compressed air products are generally light weight, can be turned on and off rapidly (so only used when necessary), and are low or no maintenance, their efficient use overall contributes well to the overall productivity of a production facility.
