Our air nozzles, air knives and air blow guns are designed to reduce sound levels and improve the efficiency of blowing with compressed air.
Blowing with compressed air is common in industry when cleaning, drying, cooling, sorting or transporting objects. Silvent air nozzles are used in fixed installations and make efficient use of compressed air. All Silvent air nozzles feature the optimal combination of high blowing force, low energy consumption and low noise levels.
Air knives are most commonly used to blow away liquids, grime, airborne debris, etc. from surfaces or objects. Silvent air knives create a broad and effective flow of air that produces a pneumatic scraping effect without mechanical contact. All Silvent air knives feature the optimal combination of high blowing force, low energy consumption and low noise levels.
Manual blowing with compressed air is common in industry when cleaning, drying or cooling objects. Silvent air blow guns make efficient use of compressed air. All Silvent air blow guns feature the optimal combination of high blowing force, low energy consumption and low noise levels, at the same time as they are ergonomically designed for professional use.
Some industries and processes need more blowing force than a regular air blow gun can generate. Therefore, Silvent has developed air blow guns with high blowing force. The blowing force ranges from twice as strong up to 30 times stronger than a regular air blow gun. All Silvent air blow guns are safe, quiet and efficient, and are developed for professional use.
The noise from compressed air valves is extremely hazardous, but equipping valve discharge ports with pneumatic mufflers often causes operational disturbances. Silvent pneumatic mufflers have integrated warning indicators. The technology basically entails that the pneumatic muffler itself sets the optimal combination of flow capacity and noise suppression thanks to the dynamic internal filter, which subsequently minimizes operational disturbances and eliminates clogging.
To optimize blowing, it is sometimes necessary to be able to make pressure or blowing angle adjustments, for example. In other cases protection against airborne debris may be needed. Silvent has different types of accessories for easily performing various blowing tasks, optimally and safely.
Noise is often referred to as one of the biggest health and safety problems in industry. One contributing factor is compressed air. A well-known British food company could, by replacing its compressed air guns, more than half the noise level in the daily cleaning process. The result was a noticeably better work environment.
There are a lot of risks in the manufacturing industry that effect the working environment and the workers health. One of the most occurring risks are too loud noise levels. A well known food company made sound level measurements and acknowleged that their daily cleaning process, with air guns, generated noise levels above 100 dB(A).
– An operation that often causes high sound levels and an unsafe working environment, that seldom are acknowledged, are compressed air blowing. Compressed air is used in the production process for cleaning drying and transporting. In the case of the British food company, compressed air was used daily to clean the production area. The blowing generated very loud sound levels, since the air guns only had open pipes and was not equipped with air nozzles, says Vinod Kumar, business development at Silvent Birmingham.
To solve the problem, the company decided to install quiet air guns from Silvent. The choice became Pro One, that was developed to combine both quiet and efficient blowing with compressed air. To document the work environment changes, new sound level measurements were carried out, after the installation. It turned out that the food company, through this action, managed to lower the noise level by more than 20 dB (A). This resulted in a noticeable lowering of the sound and a big impact on the working environment, since the ear perceives a lowering by 10 dB(A) as a halving of the sound.
– It is common that companies believe that compressed air blowing should be noisy. But, a high sound level does not mean an efficient blowing force. Often, the operator is surpriced by the fact that a quiet air gun can do the same job as a loud air gun. Then, it is good that we can demonstrate that it actually is possible to combine a quiet, safe and efficient blowing with compressed air, says Vinod Kumar, business development at Silvent Birmingham.
The Silvent Pro One air gun not only lowered the sound level by 50%, it also improved the safety for the operators, since the air gun minimizes the risk of air embolism and fulfills the safety demands from OSHA and SUVA.
Silvent has, since the founding in 1989, worked to lower the sound level and improve the energy efficiency when blowing with compressed air. The last years, Silvent has noticed a positive trend. Like the British food company, a lot of industries choose to work more actively to improve the work environment for their employees.
