Air Knife Drying System

FEATURES
  Material ~ Aluminium
Finish ~ Hard Anodised
Inlet Sizes ~ 3 inches
Length ~ 3 inches to 118 inches
Gap ~ 0.6 mm to 3 mm
Maximum Air Discharge Velocity ~ 38000 fpm
Temperature Range ~ -40 to 135 °C

This system is a non-contact method, in which Air Knives delivers a continuous sheet of precisely controlled
High Velocity Air by a High PRM Centrifugal Blower for stripping away moisture, surface liquid, dust and debris
from virtually any surface with low pressure and high velocity air.  The maximum velocity of the air coming out is at 38,000 ft/min and the maximum pressure of the air is 250 Milli Bars.

FOOD, CONFECTIONARY, FRUIT & VEGETABLES INDUSTRY: Meat / Fish / Poultry, Cheese Loafs, Food Moulds, Dairy Products, Belts Cleaning, Trays / Totes / Crates, Pouches, Jars.
ENGINEERING / AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY: Engine Blocks Clutch Plates, Painted Components, Chassis Items, Transmission Housing, Engine Components, Car Bodies, Headlamps, Wheels, Batteries, Interior Components, Radiators etc. Control depth of coatings on various items for less waste and a better thickness. Dry plated parts after last water rinse, prior to moving from rack.
HIGH TECH INDUSTRY: PC Boards, Hard Drive, Compact Disc, and Fibre Optic Cables, Solar Panels, Cassette Carriers etc.
MEDICAL DEVICES MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY: Contact Lens Pallets, I.V. Pouches, Lab Trays & Totes, Optical Components, Surgical Equipments.
PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY: Efficient Drying of Containers of Infant Formula & Accelerated Drying of Mixing & Storage Tanks, Trays & Pallet Drying.
BEVERAGE INDUSTRY: Can, Bottles and Jars, Aerosol Cans prior to Labelling, Ink Jet Coding.
CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL MANUFACTURING: Wood, Plastic, Glass etc and for various components like Wallboard, Extruded Vinyl, Lumber, Fibreglass, Roofing Materials, Floor Tiles, Windows / Doors Wire Mesh.
METAL FORMING AND FABRICATION: Plating, Annealing, Levelling, Roll Coating, Roll Forming, Picking, Shearing, Punching, De-Scaling, Polishing. Blows water off on continuous sheets and extrusions.
TEXTILES: Efficient Liquid Removal and Coating Thickness Control in various applications like Multi-Strand, Dust Blow-Off, Silkscreen Products, latex Coating Control.
TYRE AND RUBBER: To eliminate water contamination in moulding/bonding process in processes like Drying of Steel Cord in multi-strand cleaning and plating processes. The products are Extruded Slabs, Extruded Profiles, Cast Treads, Side Walls, Re-Treading, Steel Cords.
STATIC CONTROL: These high velocity air knives can be coupled with air ionizing bars for the static charge removal, prior to painting

BENEFITS - Clean, oil free & dry filtered blower inlets prevent particle contamination. Low capital cost with faster payback period. Constant Pressure System: These systems supply air at a constant pressure, which gives a consistent and guaranteed drying quality.  Use of Natural Heat of Compression: There is a rise in temperature of at 8 to 10°C due to addition of natural heat of compression which helps improve the drying process.  Compact Design & Simple to Install: Saving in space up to 90% and this system can be easily adapted to the existing conveyor line.
