Sonic’s Patented Heater-less Hot Air Knife Technology
Patented hot air blower technology for industrial applications requires no electric heater or live flame element.
Sonic Air Systems understands that every industry and application has unique needs. That's why our industrial hot air blowers are engineered to meet each customer's specific objectives, delivering precise heated (variable temperature/fixed temperature) technology for forced convective drying. Eco-friendly and energy-efficient Sonic air flow ranging from 125°F to 275°F (50°C to 135°C) with our innovative VT (variable temperature's) heater-less hot air blower systems eliminate the need for any inline heaters.
A Smart Solution for Efficient, Targeted Heating
A hot air knife system is an industrial device that uses a high-velocity stream of heated air to perform tasks like drying, curing, heating, or removing moisture from surfaces. It consists of a blower, air knives, and a heating element that precisely controls the temperature of the air. Unlike traditional methods that rely on inefficient heat sources, a hot air knife system delivers targeted, uniform airflow, making it ideal for applications that require consistent heating across a production line. Industries such as automotive, food processing, textiles, and packaging commonly use heated air blowers to accelerate drying times, enhance product quality, and reduce energy consumption.
Performance-Driven Features for Industrial Excellence
- Patented technology available ONLY at Sonic Air Systems
- Environmentally responsible design eliminates the burning of carbon fuel sources.
- Six Sonic FT/VT blower models from 7.5 to 50 HP (5.5 to 37 kW) sized for maximum efficiency
- Reduce energy by up to 75% by eliminating the inefficiencies and parasitic energy losses of electric, gas, and steam heaters.
- Fire and safety hazard prevention, as a Sonic VT/FT does not require a heater element or fuel
- Eliminates duct heaters, which reduces size, cost, and utilities
- Replaces infrared heated dryers with Sonic Hot Air XE Air Knives, delivering precise high-velocity air
