Blower Air-Knife Drying System

Packaging Equipment Sales is your source for the best Centrifugal Blower and Air-Knife Drying Systems. If you need to dry Cans, Bottles and Jars, blow water off Fruit and Vegetables, Cheese, Packaged Meat, any type of package or parts then we can design a Blower and Air Delivery Device to meet your requirements.

Why do you need a Centrifugal Blower for your packaging line?

• A centrifugal blower produces filtered clean and dry air (regular compressed plant air contains water and oil that may become a source of contamination for food and beverage products).
• By mounting the centrifugal blower close to the air-knife, the number of air connections are reduced and so is the potential for wasted air through leaking connectors or lines.
• It is cheaper to produce compressed air for drying packages with a centrifugal blower and properly sized air-knife than to use regular compressed plant air.

Watch this video showing the Centrifugal Blower and Air-Knife Drying Systems.

The video shows a Blower and Air-Knife Drying System removing water from Packaged Cheese. Cans and Bottles. There is a segment which shows a Blower with a Cone Manifold Air Delivery Device drying vegetables after washing. You will see a Cap Drying System for PET and glass bottles that will remove water even under the edges of the cap or crown of the bottle. There is a Blower Air-Knife Drying System for drying cans and another designed for drying the entire bottle.

Packaging Equipment Sales will work with you to select the right type of air delivery device (Air-Knife, Cone Manifold or Cap Dryer) and properly sized Centrifugal Blower to minimize the energy consumption while providing the excellent drying results you expect from experts in this industry.

Some of the available selections we have available to custom design a complete Air Knife Drying System to meet your requirements are:

• High Efficiency Centrifugal Blowers from 3hp to 20hp
• A Variety of Air Knife Sizes from 6 inches to 36 inches and larger
• Choice in Manifold Design, Spider Manifolds, Cone Manifolds or Regular Air Knives
• Select Stainless Steel, Aluminum with Powder Coating or Composite Air Knife construction materials
• We even have a Low Cost Air Knife PET Bottle Drying System that will outperform competitors much more expensive systems at a fraction of the cost. Note- these are still backed with our unbeatable warrantee

The Air Delivery Device is as much the key to the product or part drying as the Blower. For many applications an Air-Knife is the right choice and they come in Stainless-Steel or Anodized Aluminum but for other applications a Cone Manifold may be a better choice or a specially designed Manifold with Adjustable Fan Tips could be best suited to provide the optimum drying.

An Air-Knife is used when it can be mounted close to the product to be dried because it has an effective reach of less than 6 inches. If the product is taller than 6 inches or the manifold cannot be mounted above the product within that range, then the Cone Manifold is better suited because it will produce an effective range of approximately 12 inches.

A Centrifugal Blower will improve packaging line energy efficiency in the following ways:

• Faster Drying of Bottles, Cans, Jars and Packages
• Replace Expensive to Operate Standard Air Knife Dryers
• Reduce Plant Energy Consumption Used for Drying by 40%
• Reduce Package Rework
• Improved Water Blow Off and Package Drying
• Generate Air for Drying Packages in the Most Efficient and Cost Effective Method Using a Centrifugal Blower
• Variable Speed Drive Technology will generate only the needed amount of air required to blow off water from package
• Reduce packaging line carbon footprint and improve overall packaging line efficiency by producing "clean, dry" air for water blow off of packages.
• Using a Centrifugal Blower and Air-Knife System instead of using regular compressed plant air will save your packaging company money.
