ACI airknife drying systems from Almeco are the perfect solution for the removal of surface moisture, dust or contamination from a wide range of materials and shapes.

Efficient drying, cleaning or cooling of products transported on a conveyor belt is often difficult. Compressed air is still often used in this respect. However, of all compressed air applications, drying is the least efficient. Few people are aware that the energy consumption and cost of compressed air are considerably high.

An optimal system should guarantee good performances at a minimal cost and with a minimal impact on the environment. ACI airknife drying systems meet these conditions. ACI airknives offer a number of important advantages compared to an alternative such as compressed air:

• Optimised energy consumption
• Low maintenance costs
• Low noise levels
• Clean, oil-free and dry air
• Easy installation due to its modular construction
• Safe due to the low pressure

Applications of airknife drying systems

There are different drying system configurations depending on the product to be dried. This flexibility proves its worth and quick return-on-investment every day in many different industries:

• Bottling and filling industry
• Food industry
• Automotive industry
• Every industry where extruded products need drying
• ...
