RAICO customers include many of the principal OEMs of turnkey filling lines, in addition to leading producers and fillers of brand names in the international Food and Beverage Industry, from large applications, handling thousands of bottles/cans an hour, to small micro-breweries with, outputs of just hundreds per hour.
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.
With food processors and packagers demanding that their production lines run faster, occupy less space, be cleaner, have more flexibility and operate more efficiently than ever before, RAICO Air Knife Systems take a huge burden off the customer’s shoulders.
On any conveyor line where surface water /moisture needs to be completely removed, coatings require precise thickness control, solids or debris must be displaced or static eliminated, RAICO has set the standards for all. Stainless Steel 316 materials and HEPA filters are also routine options to handle the most stringent requirements. HEPA filters from RAICO ensure that we clean the surface of the part, with air that won’t compromise the customer’s cleanliness specification.
Most fan driven air knives and ionizing bars that have HEPA filters are on the inlet of the fan. The result is that a rotating piece of machinery (the fan) is located after the HEPA and will compromise the entire clean air circuit at some point in time.
RAICO manufacture a production model, which is in-line and high volume HEPA filter system mounted in the piping between the blower and the air knife/ionizing bar.
Compressed air systems air systems do have in-line HEPA filters, but the small size and high pressure drops make them maintenance intensive and increase the running cost of the compressed air that much further.
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.

Most of vegetables, fruits, produce needs to be washed before further process for human consumption. Most of these products are perishable and delicate. After washing removal of excess water and moisture, without harming the delicate structure of the product is a very important issue for a better taste, longer shelf life, aesthetics, further processing and many other considerations.
RAICO AIR KNIFE provides best solutions for each of individual application.
A system designed with all these factors in mind, delivers products dry with just right moisture and no harm to its delicate texture.
RAICO is changing the way debris removal and static control is being handled. With ever increasing production speeds, greater part complexities and more stringent contamination controls, the low velocity fans and high velocity compressed air devices are no longer the favoured air supply for these applications. Customers are demanding more effectiveness and lower operating costs.
Our high velocity air knives coupled with properly sized air ionizing bars are answering the call. Low velocity fan designs are not effective for an increasing number of today’s higher product speeds and complex part geometries that manufacturers must blow off debris from, while creating a static neutral part surface.
With RAICO’S 10,000 to 40,000 FPM air knife velocities, we can be as gentle or aggressive, at debris removal, as the application requires. Compressed air powered knives, can require up to 4 times more Hp, than a blower assisted air knife system.
We will size the blower assisted air knife system and ionizer to maximize efficiency. HEPA filters ensure that we clean the surface of the part with air that won’t compromise the customer’s cleanliness specification. Most fan driven air knives and ionizing bars that have HEPA filters are on the inlet of the fan. The result is that a rotating piece of machinery (the fan) is located after the HEPA and will compromise the entire clean air circuit at some point in time.
