Air Drying System

Air knives, nozzles are available for drying all types of cans, bottles and containers such as pouches, boxes, cartons, crates, sheets, coils and various shapes. These can be as singularised conveyor lines or as multiples.

Standard Sonic XE Air Knives are supplied as hard chrome plated aluminium alloy in lengths from 50mm (2″) up to 3660mm (144″) . Sonic can also supply XE air knives in 300 series stainless steel. Air knives can be supplied in diameters from 1″ to 2″ to 3″ to 6″ diameter.

Continuous uninterrupted variable slot design allows exit velocities up to 10,000 metres per minute. Engineered air knife plenum chamber creates a 95% energy efficient conversion from high volume low pressure air (20 kPa) to high velocity air knife exit velocity for maximum drying effectiveness.
Various fixed and flexible nozzles are also available.

Sonic high speed wire and cable drying has demonstrated its ability in Melbourne and overseas to dry cable speeds of over 1200 metres per minute
(4000 + Ft/min) to levels of dryness not previously experienced with compressed air wipes..

The self contained Sonic centrifugal air blower supplies air to the high speed dryer whilst actually reducing energy consumption from the previously used plant compressed air system.

We can supply a 75% energy saving over compressed air and supply a guaranteed dry product.

Sonic high speed wipes dry products from 1.5mm to 200 mm diameter after cooling, cleaning or plating. All systems have large internal clearance allowing a wide range of product diameters through a single drying system.

Rotary Air knives with self energised rotation allows drying and debris removal of difficult and complex shaped items.

When powered by a low pressure Sonic centrifugal blower dramatic energy cost savings can be achieved over compressed air.
Clean air applications we supply HEPA filters to ensure air cleanliness down to 0.1 micron.
Static control with Sonics high velocity Air Knives is achieved through properly sized air ionising bars.

We tailor our Sonic air knife system to suit your specific requirement with a guaranteed level of dryness and a known low energy usage from the Sonic Blower.
