Nex Flow Air Amplifiers for Cooling
The Nex Flow Air Amplifiers are obviously used for venting and blow-off application but have found many uses for cooling as well. Because of the high velocity amplified air flow, the cooling effect can be several times that of a fan and can increased production rates significantly if cooling of parts is required.
The Nex Flow Panel Cooler Is Almost Completely Maintenance Free!
Nex Flow Panel Coolers are ideal for cooling control panels, especially in very difficult environments. The question comes up is why use a compressed air operated device instead of an air conditioner. The question is a valid one as compressed air is costly.
In many cases an air conditioner will suffice, especially if the environment is relatively clean. However, as soon as you begin to come across dirt or extremely high temperatures the vortex coolers become far more economical.
Nex Flow Goes To The Movies!!!
The Nex Flow Air Knives and Air Amplifiers have found many uses in the special effects industry for movies, television shows and theater.
The very same 8” air amplifiers (Model AM125) we offer now were used in a famous scene in the X-files series to create a large volume of air to simulate one of the main characters being kidnapped by space aliens from an airplane.
The Nex Flow Drum Angel
The Nex Flow Drum Angel is a versatile “reversible” drum pump that uses only compressed air to operate. When tested against others it is the most efficient on the market using 19 SCFM at 80 PSIG to empty or fill a drum in less than two minutes. The reversible feature allows you to transfer fluids in and out of a drum easily minimizing maintenance time.

The 4 Most Important Things To Watch For In A Static Application
Not all static elimination systems are equal and key features must be noted to avoid utilizing an under performing product.
The 4 most important things to watch for in a static application are the following:
1. The level of the static charge on the material
2. Speed of movement of the material
3. Power level of the power supply used to operate the static bar
4. Design and strength of the static bars

Compressed air is a costly commodity and needs to be utilized optimally.
The Nex Flow tm PLCFC is a unique PLC system that senses an object just as it sees a “sensor” located just before a blow-off needs to start. It then opens the air connection to an air knife, amplifier, jet or nozzle to begin the blow off operation.
Dirt Control in Statically Charged Environments
Dirt buildup is a problem in many types of production applications, especially where plastic, fiberglass or other materials that have a propensity to develop a static charge are used.
Examples we will in this PDF are as follows:
1. Plastic molded parts need to be packaged or painted and need to be dirt free.
Web sites are too complicated!
Have you visited a company’s web site that gives you a multitude options so you have to hunt order and over for information? Not only that you have to sort through endless advertisements of products you don’t care about or need, all with some drive to be needlessly “comprehensive” and provide endless information you do not need or in some cases, may not be quite accurate or slanted to “sell you something!” Really! Is that professional? I think not!
The Real Truth of Compressed Air Vs Blowers
In the last ten years, much was made about the high cost of energy utilizing compressed air. This has created both claims and counter claims by suppliers of both blower operated technologies and compressed air amplifiers(which are flow amplifiers) as to which is the best to use. In fact, you sometimes see advertisements – somerather stretching the limits of accuracy – touting their particular method of energy use. Certainly, if one is using open jets and copper tubing, pipe with drilled holes, or open slots and compressed air for them – either blower blow-off systems or compressed air amplifying systems should be chosen instead as both with reduceenergy costs and most likely improve the productivity of the operation.
