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.

Adaptable for re-circulated air for enhanced drying capacity
All Sonic Air Knife Systems are designed to deliver high velocity
air to the surface of a product thereby creating enough shear
force on the product to strip the liquid from the surface. However,
products with absorbed moisture, products with obscure cavities
or products that have a high water surface tension (certain
plastics for example) require added air temperature to complete
the drying cycle. Some products cannot be dried completely without
the use of an in-line oven but, for those applications where
a higher temperature air knife will do the job, Sonic can save
you thousands of dollars in equipment and operating costs versus
other methods. Because of the natural heat of compression produced
by Sonic Blowers, the use of re-circulated air from a closed
drying chamber through a filter/water separator and back to
the blower inlet can produce sustained drying chamber temperatures
of up to 175 F. All Sonic Blowers come with an optional water
cooling jacket which actually allows inlet air temperatures
to 400 F if an additional heat source is available. Besides
the added heat, re-circulation also reduces the demand on system
exhaust air and the corresponding HVAC load in the plant.
