Rotary Air Knife and Air Nozzle (Patented)
Powerful and Cost-Effective Rotary Knife and Air Nozzle
Precision drying and debris removal for complex surfaces
Sonic's PATENTED Rotary Air Knife and Rotary Air Nozzle significantly reduce power consumption compared to traditional stationary air knives and nozzles by up to 80%. The Rotary Air Knife is ideal for complex geometric parts such as surface mount circuit boards, medical devices, and multi-cavity products as it outperforms multiple stationary air knives for 3” to 36” (15.2 to 91.4 cm) wide coverage areas. It excels at drying and debris removal from complex shapes up to 12" away (305mm). At the same time, the rotating air nozzle is perfect for long-distance blowing and drying applications.
Sonic's Rotary Air Knives and Nozzles can also cool or heat parts. Sonic blowers can reach temperatures up to 275°F (135°C) without a separate heat source for heating. This heater-less technology enables effective drying and heating of stationary or indexed parts. It accelerates cooling from 1,000 to 100°F (537 to 38°C), surpassing liquid spray, refrigeration, CO₂, or chilled roller cooling. The COOL-AIR™ water-to-air aftercooler achieves air knife temperatures as low as 40°F (4.5°C).
A Faster Way to Dry, Cool, and Clean Surfaces
Sonic Air Systems' Rotary Air Knife and Rotating Air Nozzle are advanced air solutions designed for efficient drying, debris removal, cooling, and heating in industrial applications. Unlike traditional stationary air knives and nozzles, these patented systems deliver high-speed rotating airflow, ensuring uniform and precise coverage even on complex surfaces.
The Rotary Air Knife is ideal for conveyor-based processes, effectively drying and removing particles from delicate components such as circuit boards, medical devices, and industrial parts. The Rotary Nozzle provides targeted, high-velocity airflow, making it perfect for long-distance drying, cooling, and debris removal in automotive, aerospace, and packaging industries.
Both systems are engineered to reduce power consumption and enhance production efficiency by eliminating moisture, dust, and contaminants more effectively than stationary counterparts.
Efficient, Targeted Airflow for High-Performance Applications
- High-Speed Rotating Airflow: The rotary air knife and spray nozzle use a dynamic rotating mechanism to create an even, high-velocity airflow, providing complete coverage for irregular surfaces and hard-to-reach areas.
- Extended Blower Air Reach: Unlike stationary nozzles, the rotary nozzle effectively projects airflow up to 12 inches (305 mm) away, improving efficiency for high-speed conveyor drying, long-distance cooling, and targeted debris removal.
- Versatile Temperature Control: The system supports both high-temperature heating (up to 275°F/135°C) and rapid cooling using Sonic’s COOL-AIR™ aftercooler, which can lower air knife temperatures to 40°F (4.5°C) for accelerated cooling applications.
- Modular & Customizable Design: Sonic Air Systems offers customizable air knife and nozzle configurations, allowing users to adjust airflow volume, pressure, and nozzle shape to meet the specific needs of their production process.
- Superior Drying & Debris Removal: The rotating air nozzle delivers uniform airflow across surfaces, ensuring more effective moisture and particle removal compared to static air knives. This is especially beneficial for electronics, pharmaceuticals, and precision manufacturing.
- Energy Efficiency & Cost Savings: By optimizing airflow and reducing reliance on compressed air, Sonic products cut energy consumption and lower operating costs.
- Increased Production Throughput: With fast, effective drying and cooling, these systems enable faster processing times and higher production speeds, reducing bottlenecks in packaging, assembly, and finishing operations.
