ABSTRACT:
An air wipe nozzle for removing water from a rod as it emerges from a water cooling tube in a rod mill is provided. The air nozzle includes a tubular head through which the rod passes, the header having a plurality of passages terminating in openings spaced around the periphery of the tube interior and directed at an acute angle with respect to the tube axis. The passages are configured to receive compressed air and direct it through the openings against the movement of the rod through the housing toward the entry end of the housing. A second group of openings spaced downstream in the header from the other openings directs additional air against the rod to completely remove water from the rod surface. Direction of the air toward the upstream direction of travel of the rod creates a vacuum at the exit end of the header and draws air therein to prevent passage of water along the header itself.
