Welcome to Supersonic Air Knife.Inc

Our tools are hand held, air powered tools which use either a towed or truck mounted air compressor. An appropriate compressor and digging tool combination will produce a supersonic air jet of MACH 1.7. This jet of air will dig quickly and safely in the ground without damaging buried utilities such as water pipes, gas pipes, conduit, insulated cable, fiber optic cable, tree roots, or other non-porous structures. These tools also perform well in collapsed trench rescue operations.

LANDSCAPING

The Supersonic Air Knife model X-LT is a valuable tool for arborists and landscaping personnel. This tool is light weight and performs well in dealing with such activities as: decompacting soil, irrigation installation or maintenance projects, radial trenching, vertical mulching, sprinkler system installations, grade remediation, aeration and tree location to name a few.

In addition, the model X-LTL allows the operator to add liquid to the air stream which aids in applying fertilizer directly to tree roots.

UTILITY WORK

The Supersonic Air Knife model X-ST2 is a heavy duty tool suitable for utility work including: curb box clean out, grounding rod installations, road crack cleanout, shallow trench installation, installing utilities under driveways or sidewalks, locating buried utilities and pipeline installation to name a few.

The X-HFA is a real work horse with its high volume capacity. The aluminum barrel makes it lighter that the X-ST2 which gives it an added advantage to using it. This is a valuable tool for the oil and gas industry.

TRENCH RESCUE

The Supersonic Air Knife model X-HFA and the Air Vacuum model H-2 are necessary tools for any fire department, rescue squad or other emergency department faced with rescuing a trapped worker in a collapsed trench. The air knife and the air vacuum complement each other to work quickly, accurately, and safely to free the trapped person.
