Sonic Air Systems designs
and manufactures air knife drying systems
for all sectors of manufacturing worldwide. We also manufacture
an entire line of Sonic
industrial blowers and system
components utilized in Air Knife drying systems. Sonic
Air is your engineering resource and one-stop-shop for all
of your drying solutions.
We engineer each air knife drying system to your specific
requirements. You can complete an online
application evaluation guide or contact
us to discuss your requirements. Our vast application
engineering knowledge base enables us to achieve the most
energy efficient drying systems possible - often where nothing
has been successful before. Sonic Air also provides a performance
guarantee with any system it quotes.

Huge energy savings over compressed air blow-off methods
Although ideally suited for many factory uses, the most inefficient
process for which compressed air can be applied is blow-off
nozzles and air knives. A 100+ psi compressor delivers air to
the typical blow-off nozzle/knife with 50-90 psi of pressure
loss through the ½” to 1” lines. Since virtually
no surface liquid blow-off application has ever required nozzle
pressure greater than 5 psi, regardless of whether compressed
air or blower/air knife, using energy to generate 100+ psi only
to bleed it back down to 5 psi is obviously not the most efficient
method. In fact, a typical high volume production line using
40 Hp worth of compressed air for water blow-off can be replaced
by a 10 Hp Sonic Air Blower/Air Knife System and have better
drying as well. This 30 Hp of energy/cost savings does not include
the cost to run the refrigerated air dryers, oil separators
and maintenance of the entire compressed air system.
