13/04/2012 - A major national bakery has been going through an air reduction program and has shown success using EXAIR's Super Air Knives to replace homemade air knives. June Lindsay-Lorman

This has led them to the next area of their plant where they had more homemade blow offs, this time in the form of a homemade nozzle.

They were using a capped off 3/8" schedule 40 pipe with a 9/64" hole in each cap. This air is used to de-pan products like rolls from the baking pans after they have been baked. The customer successfully installed (10) Model 1100 1/4" Super Air Nozzles to replace the existing setups.

Estimated air savings based upon hole size and compressed air pressure was 8 SCFM per nozzle for a total air savings of 80 SCFM or approximately 20 HP worth of air compressor load.

By implementing the 1100 Super Air Nozzles, this customer was able to save $1.54 per hour, $12.32 per 8 hour shift, and $9,240.00 per 6,000 hour year. For more information on the 1100 Super Air Nozzle, please click here.
