Air Knife Drying and Blow Off Systems for Steel Mills and Aluminum Mills

Air Knife Drying Systems for Conveyorized Parts Manufacturing

Sonic Air Systems Drying Systems for the Metals Forming and Processing Industries

Across all segments of raw steel, stainless steel, aluminum and brass production, the conversion to water based coolants, lubricants and cleaning solutions has placed additional demands on drying equipment. Together, with an increased focus on drying, production rates have increased in all areas of the metals industry - along with higher quality objectives, material and process cost reductions, shorter lead times and minimization of inventory.

When "drying" is required, as compared to just "blow-off", compressed air systems can cost 4 times higher to operate than SAS drying equipment. Due mostly to increased efficiencies and reduced scrap rates, the ROI for Sonic Air Knife Drying Systems are within 6 months. It's not just a savings in compressed air generation (and maintenance/drying costs) but also a savings in horsepower when squeegee rolls and large blower systems can be eliminated. A properly sized Sonic Air Knife Drying System can eliminate squeegee rolls and mechanical back-up roll wipers altogether!

High Speed Processing? Cold Strip Mills benefiting from Sonic Air Systems High Speed Strip Drying Systems. Using Sonic Nozzles within a unique "armored" distribution header, Sonic has successfully dried, removed excess rolling fluid and debris from strip at production rates in excess of 3,000 FPM. Other steel making operations, such as plate mills, benefit from powerful Sonic Air Knife Systems for applications such as descaling shot blow-off and temper mill drying. Slitting and finishing mills use Sonic Air Knife Systems for drying strip after washing, before and after coating and to control coolant within the individual mill stands to minimize staining issues. There is no substitute for a process engineered air knife drying system that is guaranteed to meet your applications requirements
