Smart and Energy-Efficient Paint Line Blow-Off Air Knife Systems
Efficient drying solutions capable of performing the tasks of multiple stationary air knives
Next-level drying technology with Sonic Air Systems' smart reciprocating air cannon dryer. Designed to overcome the limitations of a stationary air nozzle or air knife, our pneumatic reciprocating system excels in applications where parts require drying on monorail overhead conveyors to reduce the energy consumption of final oven drying prior to coating. With shorter drying times and impressive energy savings, this cutting-edge technology ensures 100% parts surface blow-off air contact.

Reciprocating Air Knife Systems for Monorail Conveyor Applications
The Reciprocating Air Knife (RAK) System, developed by Sonic Air, is engineered to enhance drying and blow-off processes for monorail conveyor lines. This smart drying solution features air knives and nozzles that cycle up and down (reciprocate) as products are transported on overhead monorail conveyors, ensuring thorough and efficient drying or shot blast blow-off. Its adaptability makes it suitable for various sectors, including automotive, farm machinery, and other large profile parts.
Simplify your workflow and enhance output with targeted solutions.
- Reciprocating Motion: The system's air knives and nozzles traverse across the products, providing 100% parts surface coverage.
- Customizable Design: Sonic Air Systems offers tailored configurations to meet specific application requirements, accommodating various product shapes and sizes.
- Energy-Efficient Air Knife Systems: By focusing high-velocity air precisely where needed, the RAK System minimizes energy consumption compared to stationary air knife setups.
- Improved Drying Performance: The dynamic movement enhances the removal of moisture or debris, leading to faster processing times and improved product quality.
- Comprehensive Coverage: The reciprocating motion ensures uniform drying and cleaning by covering all sides of the product, even in hard-to-reach areas.
- Faster Processing: Enhanced moisture and debris removal results in quicker drying times, speeding up production and minimizing downtime.
- Reduced Maintenance: With fewer stationary components and a controlled air delivery system, the Reciprocating Air Knife minimizes wear and tear, which leads to lower maintenance costs.
