Air Service Equipment & Driers
Wilkerson is one of the world's best known manufacturers of Air Service & Air Preparation equipment.
It is a fact that more than 60% of all pneumatic equipment failures are caused by contamination from various sources, and the resulting malfunction of just one system component can ruin product or shut down your entire production line.
WILKERSON's comprehensive range of:
MODULAR AIR LINE FILTERS
REGULATORS
LUBRICATORS
AIR DRIERS
will provide a customised solution to almost any pneumatic control application.
Wilkerson's renowned state of the art engineering and
quality control ensures high flow rates with low pressure drops and reliable long-term operation.
Brauer Airmovers:
A.D. Automation are proud to make available in Australia, the full range of Brauer Airmovers from the UK for product transfer, fume extraction, cooling or drying.
Airmovers are an air flow amplifier.
They use the energy from a small volume of compressed air (from the normal shop supply) to produce a high velocity, high volume, low pressure output airflow. The output volume of air is an exponential increase of the volume of the supply air.
The range of Airmovers available is comprehensive and they are maunufacture in alloy, stainless steel and acetal for a huge variety of applications.
Applications include:
- PRODUCT TRANSFER - Powders/Liquid
- SCRAP REMOVAL - eg Textiles
- PRODUCT COOLING - Food Processing
- QUICK DRYING - Printing & Binding
- FUME EXTRACTION & VENTILATION
- PARTS REMOVAL - eg Stamping Operations

Airmovers Explained
If you are looking to convey light materials, extract fumes, smoke or air, or simply cool down a hot area of a product quickly then airmovers provide a simple, cost effective means of achieving your aim. Using the energy from a small volume of compressed air (supplied from a standard compressor) an airmover amplifies surrounding air to high volume, low pressure output airflow using the coanda effect.
Airmovers are extremely quiet and efficient and can amplify compressed air input up to 100 times allowing increased airflow while substantially reducing compressed air consumption.
How Airmovers Work
An airmover is an air flow amplifier - it uses the energy from a small volume of compressed air (from the normal shop supply) to produce a high velocity, high volume, low pressure output airflow.
Vi = Volume of supply air (free air at atmospheric pressure)
Vo - Volume output, ducted
= Vi + Induced air
Vo = Volume output, unducted
= Vi + induced air + Entrained air
Compressed air flows from the supply inlet (1) into an annular chamber (2).
The supply air is throttled by an annular gap (3) and the resultant thin layer of high velocity air adheres to the profile (4) which turns the flow through 90° to pass down the bore (5).
The action of the high velocity supply air flowing over the profile causes a pressure drop which induces large volumes of ambient air (6).
This induced flow is augmented, and gains velocity, by contact with the supply air flow through the bore of the unit.
When an Airmover is used without output ducting, the high volume flow of supply and induced air from the bore entrains further ambient air.
The final ratio of supply (free) air volume to output volume (induced + supply + entrained air) can exceed 100:1.
