Air knife system for coating control
SONIC AIR SYSTEMS
Air knife systems for coating control
Sonic's Engineered Air Knife Systems are providing alternatives for a host of maintenance
intensive methods needed for continuous coating control, that have been used throughout
industry for decades. With our precise, fully adjustable, non-contact, Sonic Air Knife Systems,
manufacturers are achieving optimum coating thickness and at higher speeds than ever
before for conveyor widths of 1" to 192" (2.5 cm to 487 cm) and almost any coating liquid
viscosity.
Eliminating squeegee rolls and scraper blades are the most common application
for Sonic. You will no longer have the maintenance costs associated with cleaning,
adjusting and/or replacing the rollers and scrapers. A significant benefit is that a Sonic
Air Knife System delivers clean, dry, oil/dirt free air at higher than ambient temperatures
to further improve the coated product and accelerate the coating drying process as well.
Replace compressed air or other low efficiency blowers connected to air knife
designs that are not ideally suited for effective coating control applications, and simply cost far
too much to operate. A typical 48" wide (122 cm) coated product could require up to 40 Hp of
compressed air to do what a Sonic 10 Hp blower will do. Compressed air also has high costs
associated with the after coolers, dryers and extra filtration.
Sonic guarantees the air knife system we design for your coating control process will deliver the exact coating
thickness, at the speed you want to operate, with the lowest operating and maintenance costs of any other mechanical coating
control method.
