CAN & BOTTLE DRYING
Republic Air Knife Systems for canning and bottling lines are specifically engineered, manufactured, and tested to provide 99.9% of liquid, dust, and debris removal. This is especially important within the beverage industry prior to labeling, ink jet laser coding, packaging or other secondary operations. Air knife systems provide solutions for problems such as:
- Labels not sticking
- Crooked labels
- Ink jet smearing
- Water carryover
- Water marks on packaging
- Republic Air Knife Systems are engineered, manufactured and tested to provide 99.9% of liquid, dust, and debris removal from products prior to labeling, ink jet laser coating, packaging, or other secondary operations using a high velocity, high impact air stream.
- Our air knife systems are available in extruded aluminum or stainless steel with lengths from 2” to 196” with an adjustable gap for better air stream control. We offer nozzle knives for direct drying, air wipes to match your extrusion profile and wire, and a food grade air knife which is USDA and NSF compliant. In house engineering expertise allows us to provide a heat source for your high temperature applications or cold air systems to cool the parts. Custom air knife designs are available to meet your exact needs.
- The breadth of our equipment allows us to engineer and manufacture the additional components needed to complete your system; including the Republic Centrifugal Blower, butterfly valves to provide the appropriate pressure and air stream as needed, air knife brackets, elbows, Y-branches, and manifolds.
