Small chips have a tendency to adhere to hinge plates because of the sticky nature of coolant. The Air Header option directs a stream of compressed air to knock these chips off the plate before they are carried back down into
the conveyor frame.
Cutting applications for aluminum, brass and other non-ferrous materials are good candidates for the use of an air
header since these types of chips tend to cling to the belt and do not fall off of the conveyor belt easily at the discharge.
The normal air pressure required is 10 to 20 psi, depending on the conveyor belt width. Use the chart below to determine specific air requirements.
