We are engaged in manufacturing and exporting of Cooling Air Knife Systems. Customers are demanding more effectiveness and lower operating costs. RAICO high velocity air knives with blowers, with or without properly sized air ionizing bars, are answering the call.

Sheet Drying-Cleaning-Cooling Air Knife Systems

	RAICO is providing the metal finishing industry with the most effective and efficient blow off and drying solutions. As compressed air and heater systems have been proven much less cost effective methods for today’s higher production rates and standards. Eliminating squeegee rolls & scrapper blades are the most common application for our Air Knife Systems. You will no longer have the maintenance costs associated with cleaning, adjusting and/or replacing the rollers and scrapers. A significant benefit is that a RAICO Air Knife System delivers clean, dry, oil and dirt free air at higher than ambient temperatures, to further improve the product, and accelerate the drying process as well. Thermal drying heats up the products, which needs to be cooled before handling, making conveyor lines longer, and production speeds slower. Blower assisted Air Knife systems takes away this disadvantage allowing shorter conveyor lengths, and higher production speeds, which will benefit in terms of time and energy savings and higher efficiencies.
Components Drying-Cleaning-Cooling Air Knife System
Compressed airs drying-cleaning- cooling systems are highly inefficient as compared to a RAICO blower assisted air knife system. A RAICO 10Hp blower system will generally do the work of 40+ Hp of compressed air, in the same application. RAICO is changing the way debris removal/static controls are being handled. With ever increasing production speeds, greater part complexities and more stringent contamination controls, the low velocity fans and high pressure compressed air devices are no longer the favoured air supply forthese applications. Customers are demanding more effectiveness and lower operating costs. RAICO high velocity air knives assisted with blowers are answering the call. Low velocity AIR KNIFE SYSTEMS designs are not effective for an increasing number of today’s higher product speeds and complex part geometries, that manufacturers must blow debris from, while creating a clean surface. With RAICO’s 10,000 to 40,000 FPM air knife velocities, it can be as gentle or aggressive, at debris removal, as the application requires. Heated air knife air is yet another feature that can be incorporated into your system. RAICO blower always produces a natural heat of compression, and may not require any supplemental heating. Alternatively, heat source between blower and air knife, will supply hot air, enhancing efficiency, as required by the application. An air knife system can accelerate radiant parts cooling (air quench), in situations where a liquid quench in not acceptable, and low velocity fans are not meeting the need. As high temperature products exit ovens, or other processes where heat is introduced, rapid air cooling of the parts can help stabilize the structure, reduce conveyor lengths and facilitate operator handling or other subsequent process. RAICO tailors air knife systems to your specific cooling objectives. Parts cooling and air quenching are sometimes as much an art as a science , so let RAICO give you a new perspective with a high velocity blower assisted air knife solutions.
