Contactless and Transparent: The Versatile Line-Blow Pneumatic Cold Air Curtain by Kager

The Line-Blow pneumatic cold air curtain by Kager offers versatile applications, including contactless surface drying and cleaning, as well as protection against heat, smoke, and soot. Belonging to the category of cold air curtains or air blades, this pneumatic module is easy to integrate into existing processes. Available in lightweight aluminum and corrosion-resistant stainless steel variants, it’s an ideal solution for industrial applications, as well as the food, pharmaceutical, and medical technology sectors.

Efficient Cooling, Drying, and Cleaning
The Line-Blow module creates a transparent, thin air wall that’s perfect for gentle cooling, drying, and cleaning of sensitive surfaces. With widths ranging from 150 to 900 mm and flexible mounting options (hanging, lying, or standing), the module integrates seamlessly into various processes. A ¼-inch connection enables easy integration into the company’s compressed air network.

Protection Against Harmful Particles and Substances
In environments such as foundries, paint shops, or welding facilities, the Line-Blow module serves as a pneumatic protective curtain against dust, smoke, soot, and mechanical abrasion. It creates an invisible barrier that protects workers from harmful airborne particles and improves indoor air quality. The stainless steel version is especially suited for sensitive applications in chemical and cleanroom technologies.

Quick and Precise Visualization of Mechanical Stress

Quick and Precise Visualization of Mechanical Stress with Prescale Pressure-Sensitive Films

Prescale multilayer films enable straightforward and accurate measurement of pressure loads directly at the point of action. These innovative pressure-sensitive films provide a reliable visualization of mechanical stresses at contact and connection points. With minimal technical effort and low cost, they offer an immediate picture of the stress distribution on surfaces or components. This makes Prescale films an indispensable tool for technicians seeking to quickly assess surface pressure conditions across various industries.

How Prescale Pressure-Sensitive Films Work

The functionality of Prescale films is based on an innovative multilayer technology with integrated micro-ink capsules. When placed between two active surfaces, these microcapsules break under pressure and leave a visible magenta print representing the applied forces. The films come in nine variations to measure pressure loads from 0.006 N/mm² to 300 N/mm² and are only 0.1 to 0.2 millimeters thick, allowing them to be used in tight gaps and complex setups.

Applications and Benefits

Prescale films are used in aerospace, assembly testing, and material analysis in packaging technology. They are easy to handle, supplied in rolls or as sheets, and can be cut to the required size. When placed between active surfaces, they generate pressure prints that provide an initial assessment of stress with ±10% accuracy. For more precise results, the Prescale analysis software and optical measurement system can be employed.

Accurate Analysis with Software and Scanner

Kager offers a comprehensive system that includes a high-speed flatbed scanner and visualization software from Fujifilm for highly accurate measurements. This system delivers precision up to ±2% and allows detailed 3D renderings. Such precision facilitates accurate assessments of forces acting on joints or components, aiding in the optimization of parts and processes.
