Air Amplifiers


Product Overview

Nex Flow™ Air amplifiers are compact, low cost air flow “movers” that are virtually maintenance free. Applications include the venting of fumes and smoke, conveying of low weight materials, and entraining a high volume of air to cool, blow off, and dry. Air Amplifiers use the “Coanda effect” to draw in the surrounding atmospheric air while consuming only a minimal amount of compressed air. These products can amplify airflow up to 17 times (depending on the size) resulting in dramatically reduced levels of noise.

Air Amplifiers (also called Air Movers) draw in atmospheric air from the back of the unit as well as having downstream entrainment further amplifying the flow. They are used for cooling and venting. While the force produced for blow off decreases as the amplifier outlet diameter increases, these Air Movers are ideal for cooling because of the high velocity outlet flow and and are much more effective for cooling compared to air nozzles.

The air amplification “ratio” (hover for definition) varies from 6 up to 17 depending on size of the air amplifier. If the ratio is higher than 17 the velocity could decrease too much and the blow off force would become too weak and ineffective because of inadequate velocity. With much lower velocity the cooling effect is dramatically reduced as well. Nex Flow offers units for testing and welcomes comparisons to competitive models so you can confirm actual results in house..

Common Applications….

  • Cool hot parts
  • Vent Welding Smoke
  • Dry wet parts
  • Clean machined parts
  • Distribute heat in molds/ovens
  • Ventilate confined areas
  • Dust collection
  • Exhaust tank fumes

Nex Flow's Adjustable Air Amplifier is is similar in principle of operation as the Standard Amplifier except that the gap is adjustable. They are made of either anodized aluminum for regular use or in stainless steel for high temperature, corrosive atmospheres and for food and pharmaceutical applications. You can set the air gap to increase or decrease flow and force and then lock it in place with the lock ring. The applications are similar to a standard air amplifier but tends to be popular with OEM’s because of its versatility and compact, lightweight design.

Nex Flow’s Fixed X-Stream Air Amplifier comes complete with mounting holes for easy mounting. The units are easy to maintain with virtually no maintenance. They reduce both compressed air consumption and noise levels significantly. By harnessing the energy from an input of a small amount of compressed air, the Standard Air Amplifier creates a high velocity, high volume, low pressure air flow output with high kinetic energy. They are quiet and amplify up to 17 times the air they consume depending on the size.
