The Gate Air Wipe is a 2 piece hinged Air Amplifier that provides a high volume circle of high velocity compressed air. Gate Air Wipes amplify air at a 25:1 ratio, minimizing the amount of compressed air usage from items such as drill pipes and other home made designs. Gate Air Wipes have an open and shut design that allows for easy placement of products and movement.
Gate Air Wipes are available in aluminum and stainless steel and come in 1″ (25mm), 2″ (51mm), 3″ (76 mm), 5″ (127mm), 7″ (178mm)
