Snap-on Air Miser™
Air Miser™ is the worldwide industry standard for
cost effective and reliable drying. Extremely efficient, it automatically passes knots and splices
and features quick bracket and air disconnects to make size changes a snap.
Drying wire and cable can a be a tricky, expensive business. Huestis Industrial Air Wipes use precision controlled air flow to save air, reduce noise and dramatically cut energy consumption.
Air Miser™ automatically passes knots and splices and features quick-change, bracket and air disconnects to make size changes a snap. All versions feature very efficient, economical and quiet operation.
Features
- Split block, spring-hinged design allows knots, splices and other oversize irregularities to pass through without stopping production.
- Easily opened bodies allow quick thread-up or line replacement.
- Snap-on mounting brackets offer quick changes and allow either right-left or left-right line direction.
- Three bracket sizes handle the full range of standard Air Misers.
- Adjustable centering guide with long wearing ceramic cradle offers proper exit alignment.
- Convenient handle offers quick, easy guide adjustments without tools.
Air Miser™ Drying Cycle
Wet material enters the rear of the Air Miser™ from a cooling trough or quenching tank. Material is then exposed to a ring of drying air jets. Dry material exits the Air Miser™, aided by an adjustable ceramic centering guide.
Air Flow / Noise
Efficient, Quiet Operation
- Most manufacturing plants already use compressed air, making conversion to Air Wipes both quick and cost effective.
- Very often, a change to Air Wipes has resulted in reducing the number of compressors on line.
- Air Wipes require only a fraction of the horse power needed to generate the electrical requirements of a centrifugal blower.
- Air Wipes controlled air flow produces much lower noise levels than open lines or adjustable models.
