Applications
Used at transport truck trailers’ doors to create an air dam between an industrial mill environment and the trailer. These systems are crucial in maintaining cleanliness and preventing the entry of dust, debris, and pollutants during loading and unloading processes.
Benefits
These systems enhance operational efficiency by maintaining a clean environment inside trailers and preventing contamination of goods. They improve worker safety by reducing exposure to airborne pollutants and support compliance with environmental regulations. Additionally, they help maintain temperature control, reducing energy costs associated with heating or cooling losses.
Capacities
Air Flow Rates: From 1,000 to over 20,000 cfm
Pressure Range: From 5 to 50 inWC
Coverage Area: Designed to cover openings ranging from a few feet to over 10 feet in width and height
The system consists of a blower fan that generates a high-velocity air stream directed through blowpipes installed at the trailer’s doors. When the trailer is positioned for loading or unloading, the air curtain creates an invisible barrier that prevents dust, debris, and pollutants from entering or leaving the trailer. The air curtain’s velocity and direction can be adjusted to optimize its effectiveness based on the specific requirements of the loading dock and trailer configuration. By maintaining a continuous flow of air, the system ensures a clean interface between the industrial mill environment and the transport trailer, protecting the integrity of the goods being transported.
