Each Sonic DRY-IN-PLACE® System incorporates Sonic's (Patented) hot air blower technology to facilitate rapid drying in any application where containers must be rinsed and dried prior to the mixing of powders, concentrates or ingredients in tanks, totes, drums, barrels, blenders, mixers, hoppers or conveying tubes. It is suitable for large tanks, mixers, valves and piping up to 600 ft3 (17m3) in volume. It blow dries surfaces with air heated up to200˚F (93˚C) by use of only natural blower heat, thereby eliminating the need for in-line heaters
The Sonic DRY-IN-PLACE® is also ideal for liquid handling containers like IBC totes, tanks and barrels where rinse water must not cross- contaminate the next batch of product, or, where residual dampness and bacteria adhering to the container surface would impair sanitation requirements
The Sonic DRY-IN-PLACE® works by our (Patented) Hot Air Blower, just regenerated blower air and no secondary heat source, pumping clean, dry, pressurized air at;0.5 to1.0 psi (3.4 to 6.8 kPa) at air temperatures of 150˚Fto 200˚F(65˚C to 93˚C) to force evaporate the inside of the tank, blender, hopper, mixer or conveying tube circuit. It exchanges the entire system circuit air volume at least every 30 seconds
The Sonic DRY-IN-PLACE® System can be customized per application and ranges from a Sonic Centrifugal Blower from 7.5 to 50 hp (5kw to 37kw) with a hose to a more elaborate system with thermocouple monitoring of the air temperature with digital controls, HEPA filters, cart, power cord and plug and Sonic AE Blower Enclosure for quiet operation. Blower materials include aluminum water-cooled housing, insulated plumbing and explosion-proof motors
