The most common application of Sonic blower-powered air knife systems is bottle and can drying in the food, dairy, and beverage industries. Challenges come in the form of container cleanliness, moisture removal/disposal, and noise containment.
Container cleanliness is very important. To ensure that every bottle and can is free of debris that may have gotten into the container from the beginning of the line, specially designed comb-type air knives with an optional Sonic Ionizer Bar are tailor-made to handle this task. This is accomplished by directing ionized “dust and debris releasing” air at high velocity into the unfilled container.
