Liquid Blow Off Systems are industrial devices designed to remove water and other liquids from surfaces using high-velocity air. Our systems are used in many manufacturing and processing sectors where it’s essential to dry products or components with maximum efficiency before the next stage of production or packaging.
At the very heart of the system, the blower generates high-velocity air to the nozzles. Blowers are electric and are adjustable to vary the air pressure as well as the flowrate, allowing us to completely customize the system based on your needs.
Air Knives are elongated nozzles with a narrow, high-velocity air stream exit point. An Air Knife can provide a direct and continuous sheet of air across whatever surface needs to be dried. Air Knives are particularly effective in removing liquid from flat surfaces, bottles and cans, and are very useful in situations that utilize conveyor belts where products pass through the direct air stream.
Air Cannons are nozzles that are used for more focused and harder-to-reach areas where precision drying at a distance is required. They are often used in a group to target a larger overall area to ensure good overall coverage. These are particularly useful for drying complex geometric shapes, crevices, or large components with intricate designs.
Our systems are used to dry car parts and bodies after the pretreatment washer or paint and E-coat processes. These systems are also used to remove water from vehicles on assembly lines, such as with regards to a Leak or Shower Test.
They can be used to dry or remove dust from bottles, cans, or other containers before the labeling or packaging process. They can also remove moisture from fruits, vegetables, and other food products to prevent possible spoiling.
They can remove any residual cleaning agents from circuit boards and other electronic components.
In the pharmaceutical industry, our Liquid Blow Off Systems can dry glass vials, syringes, bags and other containers after the washing or filling process.
The need to eliminate static, dust and trim in the process are common issues and AF1 can help with those. Our systems can even help dry ink on printed materials to prevent smudging and ensure a high-quality finish.
Greater Efficiency: Our Liquid Blow Off Systems use high-velocity air to effectively remove liquids, quickly reducing drying times and improving the speed of production.
Saving Energy: Compared to other forms of drying, an Air Knife or Air Cannon system are more energy efficient, decreasing your carbon footprint and saving you money.
Maximum Precision: By utilizing direct air precisely where it’s needed ensures the maximum drying potential, including in hard-to-reach areas.
Non-Contact: Because our Liquid Blow Off Systems utilize pressurized air, there’s no risk of mechanical contact damage to delicate surfaces.
Noise Levels: High-velocity air systems can be noisy, so proper noise reduction measures can be addressed with the overall design and components.
Maintenance: Regular maintenance of filters is important to ensure consistent performance and longevity.
Customization: The system should be tailored to the specific requirements of the application, including air pressure, flow rate, and positioning of Air Knives or Cannons.
Removes moisture from object surfaces, even in areas that are difficult to access.
Designed to seamlessly integrate with existing production lines.
Prevents water corrosion and water marks on parts, packaging, cans, and bottles, too.
Improves production efficiencies to the point that we can reduce wait times and the need for production downtime.
Offers significant energy savings, eliminates the need for manual input, and offers targeted solutions.
AF1’s Liquid Blow Off Systems provide substantial energy and cost savings by not using compressed air. Our systems can be applied across several industries, from food and beverage, automotive, electronics, pharmaceuticals, medical, manufacturing, and the heavy steel industry.
AF1's blow-off systems are designed to be more energy-efficient than conventional compressed air systems. They reduce energy consumption, lower operational costs, and decrease the carbon footprint of manufacturing processes.
Absolutely. AF1 specializes in custom-engineered solutions that seamlessly integrate with current production setups, ensuring minimal disruption and optimized performance.
Regular maintenance includes checking and cleaning filters to ensure consistent airflow and performance. Periodic inspections of components like air knives and air cannon nozzles are also recommended to maintain efficiency
AF1 offers consultation services to assess your specific requirements. By evaluating factors like product type, production speed, and drying needs, they can recommend a tailored solution that fits your operational goals.
Yes. By effectively removing moisture, AF1's systems help prevent issues like water spots, corrosion, and microbial growth, thereby enhancing product quality and shelf life.
The required airflow depends on your application, but AF1 systems are engineered to deliver optimized pressure and velocity for effective drying—whether you're handling small components or large industrial parts.
