Broad Overview Air Technology

Over the years, Air Technology has advanced using specific tools (blowers and air delivery devices) tailored to an application’s needs in all environments. Over the years, blowers and air delivery devices have become more efficient and better engineered to solve air rinsing, blow off, and drying issues throughout a wide variety of industries. Using ineffective solutions result in products being rejected, issues developing further down the production line, or longer-term quality issues such as bacterial growth or corrosion. While a blower system may be a small part of the production line, it can have a huge impact on whether production continues or stops.

Is your air working for you?

Is your air solution effectively and efficiently air rinsing, blowing off or drying? A good air solution should not only solve your production issues but also provide a ROI. It may provide energy savings or reduce the number of employees needed, to redeploy them from manual drying or blow off to higher value-added positions.  It should improve the quality of your finished product or enable faster line speeds.  It should prevent secondary packaging issues.  It should be reliable and easy to maintain.  When you replace your compressed air or water usage for air technology, it can lead to huge savings.

How can you spot if your air is not working for you?

Ask yourself these questions:  Is your air solution solving your air rinsing, blow off or drying issues? Are your products passing quality control consistently? Are you having contamination issues? Are you having to slow your production speeds to ensure complete drying or blow off?  If you answered yes to any of these questions, it’s time to take a look at your air solution. While it is easy to buy a cheap regen blower and make your own air knives, it usually will not solve your production issue. To maximize system performance your air delivery device(s) must be sized to operate at or near the upper efficiency range of the blower.  If your blower and air knife are not properly sized, airflow can be lackluster, or the blower may overwork and fail causing production delays and product rejections. To ensure the best air technology for your production line, it is important that the solution is engineered specifically for your application. One size does not fit all.
