Air Consumption: Open Pipe vs Compressed Air Nozzle
If you're using open pipe or pipe with drilled holes or slits for drying or blow-off, you're wasting compressed air, energy and a lot of money. The best way to minimize compressed air use is to use an air nozzle. Air nozzles convert a low-pressure volume of compressed air into a targeted, high-velocity, concentrated air stream. There are several versions available, some provide a flat fan or curtain of high-impact air, others a tightly directed round spray pattern. Not only are these nozzles effective but they are much more energy efficient.
