Different Air Volume Amplifier Types

Standard (fixed) and Adjustable airflow amplifiers are the two types of airflow amplifiers that both employ the Coandă effect to produce a strong, high-velocity laminar flow of air.

Standard (fixed): The most common standard (fixed) units are quiet and can amplify the air they take in up to 16 times. Without an attachment, there is an additional three times more air amplification (48 times the original airflow).

0.002" or 0.003" stainless steel stackable shims can be added to enhance the force needed for outlet flow. By widening the gap and piling the shims, flow and force can be enhanced.

Standard air amplifiers can send air into corners to scoop out water in recessed corners for blow-off/drying applications.

For high-temperature and culinary applications, adjustable air amplifiers are composed of lightweight machined anodized aluminum or stainless steel. They create an air gap using a lock ring to control the force and flow. Up to 17 times the rate of input consumption, an adjustable device can amplify air. They are inexpensive, lightweight, and have a small design. To lock the setting, put the gap between 0.001 and 0.004" and utilize the O-ring.

Due to their annular design, adjustable amplifiers are perfect for blow-off applications that require squeezing liquid from can corners. To convey or collect light materials, odors, and dust, a hose or pipe can be connected to either end of the amplifier. Since it can control the air consumption and output flow to produce anything from a gentle breeze to a strong blast, the Nex Flow adjustable air amplifier is "infinitely adaptable." The adjustable amplifier is a powerful air mover that can be adjusted to precisely match the air flow and force required for any application.

In order for the customer to verify "actual" results, Nex Flow provides units for comparison testing.
