In every manufacturing unit, whether it is the automobile factory or repairing centre, food and beverage units or paint industry anywhere, removal of surface moisture, liquids, dust, coatings, debris and pollutants are the most essential activities. The use of blow-off or ‘wind-jet’ style nozzles are out of date as it wastes substantial amount of energy and can cause rigorous fluctuations in the compressed air supply.
So what’s the way out? Well, air knife system for liquid blow-off or drying is the one manufacturer can always rely on. It has been able to live up to the expectation of the mechanical engineers too. The whole cleaning system is designed intelligently and the dynamics part of it has proven its effectiveness in drying system too.
Now what makes an air knife system more successful? Obviously there are some important elements attached to it like- drying standard, the part cleanliness specification, the type of tunnel or cabinet, conveyor or parts carrier designs, heat sources, spray zones or cycles and the air balancing.
Air knife drying system is the boon for food and beverages industry too. It comes with different specifications. Few of those are mentioned here as example: air knives length- 5 to 502 cm, Blower – 3050 Hp, Air knife velocities- up to 40,000 FPM, air cleanliness ranging from 10 micron- 0.1 micron etc.
Coating drying is another specialized functionality that includes huge expense and complexities. Air knife system helps drying or assist heater tunnel in drying of continuous coated product. Whatever the product size, speed or coating materials used; it provides wide range of solutions and reduces the burden of traditional methods. It is significant to reduce the size, energy consumption as well as the dwell time of the heater tunnels to operate efficiently. Air knife accelerates the natural evaporation by eliminating moisture from a coating.
Thus any business can get their pay back with good savings and that too within a quick frame of time.
