Frequently Asked Questions

 

Can AF1 build a custom blow off system for my production line? 

Yes, AF1 designs and manufactures custom blow-off systems tailored to your production line, product type, and performance requirements. Our team can configure a solution that fits your process, space, and drying or cleaning needs.

 


 

Can AF1 help if compressed air is not drying my product effectively? 

AF1’s liquid blow off systems are used in food and beverage applications to dry bottles, cans, and other containers before labeling or packaging. Air knives are especially effective for products moving on conveyor lines.


 

Why choose a blower-driven air knife system instead of compressed air?

A blower-driven air knife system is often more energy efficient than compressed air because it is designed to deliver optimized airflow without relying on a compressed air supply. It can provide consistent, high-velocity air for drying while lowering operating costs and reducing energy use.

 


 

Can AF1 design a system to dry cans, bottles, or containers before labeling? 

AF1 Air Knives are made from extruded aircraft-grade hard-anodized aluminum, including the body, end flanges, and all stainless steel mounting hardware. We also offer stainless steel-based knives for food industry use and particularly corrosive environments.

 


 

Can AF1 help with liquid blow-off after rinsing, washing, or filling?

Yes, AF1 designs systems to remove moisture after rinsing, washing, or filling in industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing. These systems help reduce water spots, corrosion, and production delays.

 


 

Why not build a DIY air knife system? 

A DIY air knife system may not deliver the airflow, pressure, placement, or energy efficiency needed for reliable performance. AF1 custom-engineers systems so the components are matched to the application, which helps improve drying results, reduce noise issues, and avoid unnecessary downtime.

 


 

Can AF1 design systems for dust or particulate removal?

We offer solutions for dust removal and surface cleaning in manufacturing environments. Our systems can be used to remove dust, trim, static, and other particulates from products and production lines.

 


 

Can an air knife help keep sensors clean in dusty or wet environments?

Air knives can be used to direct a controlled stream of air across sensors and nearby surfaces to help keep dust, moisture, and debris from building up. AF1’s engineered systems can be adapted for sensitive manufacturing environments where cleanliness and reliability matter.
