Aluminum Blow-Off Relatively few people realize that for a variety of industrial manufacturing applications, from air knife drying to simple blow-off nozzles, the use of high pressure compressed air that bleeds into the atmosphere represents a significant waste of energy. This is confirmed by the Compressed Air Challenge, a compressor industry organization, that calls it “an inappropriate use of compressed air. ” This costly waste of energy can be eliminated by replacing the use of compressed air with the installation of a high-speed blower. Beyond providing industrial process air at a fraction of the cost, high-speed blowers generally provide better results in drying and blow off situations. Problem A major US manufacturer of light gauge aluminum decided in 2006 that it had to address the
