Dry-In-Place Tank Dryer (Patented)


The Smarter Alternative to Traditional Tank Dryer Systems
The DRY-IN-PLACE® Tank Dryer reimagines vessel drying by eliminating manual wiping, compressed air nozzles, blowers with in-line heaters, and the long wait time for natural evaporation. Engineered for process-critical environments, it delivers controlled, high-volume airflow where and when it’s needed most. Rather than adopting a general duty air mover, this purpose-built rapid dryer meets the demanding hygiene and performance standards of modern manufacturing. It’s especially valuable in facilities where moisture control directly impacts product quality, safety, and regulatory compliance. Common applications include post-CIP drying for stainless steel tanks, drying food-grade containers, sanitizing storage tanks before use, and most of the associated piping. It’s the fastest and most efficient replacement for traditional hopper, blender, pipe, tote, IBC, and post-CIP dryers.
Patented DRY-IN-PLACE® Tank Dryer System
Fast drying in tank, tote, blender, IBC, hopper, barrel, and piping applications.
Our Patented hot air DRY-IN-PLACE® Tank Dryer system delivers rapid and efficient drying for tanks, totes, drums, mixers, and piping without the use of any traditional heating source. Supplying high volumes of pressurized air at air temperatures of 150°F to 275°F (66°C to 135°C), the system ensures forced convective drying while minimizing the total energy required. Ranging from 7.5 to 50 HP (5 to 37 kW), Sonic's DRY-IN-PLACE® system can be customized per application with motor controls, predictive maintenance monitoring, in-line HEPA filter, portable blower cart, etc.
Experience the New Standard in Tank Drying
- Pressurized Hot Air Delivery: The tank dryer system delivers high-velocity, temperature-controlled 1 to 2 psig of air directly into tanks and vessels. This ensures thorough internal drying without requiring additional drying aids or prolonged downtime.
- Predictive Maintenance Monitoring: Built-in monitoring alerts operators of system irregularities. This helps maintenance teams stay ahead of wear and tear, reducing unexpected interruptions.
- In-line HEPA Filter Option: A Sonic in-line HEPA filter maintains intrinsically clean air at all times. This added layer of protection is ideal for industries with strict hygiene or purity standards.
- Portable Cart Design: Mounted on a wheeled frame, the Sonic Dry-In-Place® can be easily moved across production lines or departments. Its portability adds convenience for facilities that use multiple tanks in different areas.
- Minimizes Downtime: By rapidly drying tanks between cleaning cycles, the system keeps production moving. This leads to higher operational efficiency and reduced bottlenecks.
- Reduces Energy Use: Engineered for airflow efficiency, this system achieves powerful drying without relying on excessive heat or compressed air. Facilities can lower their energy costs while meeting hygiene standards.
- Supports Compliance: By delivering clean, dry tanks every time, it helps companies meet stringent health and safety regulations. It's a valuable asset for facilities following GMP, FDA, or HACCP protocols.
- Adaptable to Applications: From dairy tanks to chemical mixers, the dryer adapts to various vessel types and industry needs. This versatility makes it a smart investment for multi-use facilities.
