Low Pressure Blow-Off Assemblies and Related Methods

A blow-off assembly for providing converging airflow around one or more lengths of objects as they approach the assembly, the blow-off assembly comprising:

• a body having at least one interior wall and at least one exterior wall, the at least one interior wall defining two or more bores extending through the body for receiving one or more lengths of objects through the body, and the at least one exterior wall surrounding the at least one interior wall and defining at least one air reservoir within the body generally between the at least one exterior wall and the at least one interior wall;
• and
• two or more caps configured to be coupled to the body adjacent each of the two or more bores.

A blow-off assembly kit for providing converging airflow around one or more objects, the blow-assembly kit comprising:

• a body configured to receive one or more objects through the body;
• two or more caps each configured to be interchangeably coupled to the body, each of the two or more caps being operable with the body to discharge air from the body in a different converging pattern around the one or more objects as they move toward the body.

A blow-off assembly for providing converging airflow around one or more lengths of objects as they approach the assembly, the blow-off assembly comprising:

• a body configured to receive one or more lengths of objects through the body;
• a cap configured to be coupled to the body, the cap and the body defining an opening for discharging air from the body through the opening in a generally converging airflow pattern around the one or more lengths of objects as the one or more lengths of objects move through the body;
• a barrel disposed adjacent the cap and configured to receive the one or more lengths of objects through the barrel, the barrel re-entraining velocities of air discharged from the body for subsequent discharge in a generally converging airflow pattern around the one or more lengths of objects as the one or more objects move through the barrel.
