    Air Amplifiers used to detect defective packaging

    October 29th, 2009

    A food processing plant packaging a variety of pastries & baked goods needed a way to detect defective plastic containers where the lids would not completely close/seal.

    Using the 316 Stainless Steel Adjustable Air Amplifier, our customer was able to mount the Air Amplifier in such a way that as the containers passed by underneath, the lids that were not properly closed would lift up from the suction of the Air Amplifier. These containers would eventually be ejected off the line with a burst of air from the STREAMTEK 3/4″ Air Conveyor.

    Air Knife blows away scrap at Metal Processing Facility

    October 27th, 2009

    Customer (Ross) has a metal processing facility. Previously scrapers & brushes were used to remove the scrap buildup. This was terribly inefficient, created expensive maintenance problems, and was loud.

    Ross has compressed air from another system available. Using a 30″ Regular Aluminum Air Knife, Ross was able to decrease downtime & drastically reduce noise. The Air Knife was easy to mount thanks to the multiple 1/4″-20 mounting holes on the Air Knife, unlike competitive models which will often require dismantling & reassembly.

    Air Conveyors save time!

    October 19th, 2009

    A customer from the UK contacted us today with a relativity simple application requirement.  He (Ralph) needed something that could convey small desiccant beads from small plastic containers to a central storage bin 45ft away (10′ vertical / 35′ horizontal). Ralph wanted a system that would enable him to attach a 10ft flexible tube (vertical) so that his workers could easily grab the flexible tube, activate the vacuum, suck the beads out of the containers, and turn the system back off.

    Using our 1-1/4″ Non-Threaded Aluminum Air Conveyor, 10ft PVC Reinforced Conveying Hose and 3/8″ Manual Shut-Off valve, Ralph was able to construct a vacuum system that saved his workers HOURS of backbreaking labor carrying large bins filled with beads back to the storage bin. Another happy STREAMTEK customer :) .
