Description
LBR-20 Linear Air Knife Drying System
Eliminate Water, Enhance Efficiency, Protect Your Product
Water residue is more than just an inconvenience; it’s a threat to your production efficiency and product quality. The LBR-20 Air Knife Drying Tunnel solves this problem with a highly efficient, non-contact drying method that integrates seamlessly into any existing conveyor line. By ensuring containers are completely dry, it protects your investment in packaging and prevents downstream issues.
Key Features & Benefits
-
High-Velocity Air Knife Technology: Creates a precise, laminar sheet of air that effectively scrapes water off container surfaces without contact, eliminating streaks and spots on glass, plastic, or metal.
-
Exceptional Drying Efficiency: Removes up to 99.8% of residual water, drastically reducing drying times and energy consumption compared to traditional heated air tunnels.
-
Non-Contact Process: Gentle on containers, eliminating the risk of damage, scratches, or contamination that can occur with physical wiping or towels.
-
Easy Line Integration: A modular linear conveyor design allows for simple installation between your existing washer and labeler/packstation. Adjustable height and width accommodate various container sizes.
-
Low Operating Cost: Powered by a standard industrial air supply, it offers significant energy savings over large heated drying ovens.
