Energy Efficient Solutions to improve production and lower operating costs.
Sonic Air Knife Systems, powered by Sonic Centrifugal Blowers, deliver high-velocity, warm, dry air with no pressure fluctuations, ensuring reliable and consistent results. Whether your objective is to increase throughput, eliminate quality problems associated with other methods of drying/blow-off, or significantly reduce energy costs, Sonic will engineer a cost-effective system for you with guaranteed results.

More information on specific air knife applications:
The Sonic Rotary Air Knife (PATENTED) was developed for the blow-off and drying of complex parts. The air knife slot is angled at 15 degrees to the axis of rotation, delivering high-velocity air at a constantly changing direction with respect to the part being dried. This means that the leading edge, trailing edge, and sides of a part can be effectively dried, usually with a single air knife performing multiple passes over the part. This saves both energy and space, as the Sonic Rotary Air Knife performs the job of multiple fixed air knives. Stationary or indexed parts or batches can also be dried effectively—usually impractical for conventional stationary air knives.
The Sonic Sanitary Air Knife is designed for direct blow-off air to food contact surfaces and meets 3A Standards for cleanability. Designed with Tri-Clamp fittings, it can be quickly disassembled for periodic cleaning and sanitation.
The Sonic XE Air Knife with Ionizing Bar removes dust and debris while simultaneously introducing a positive stream of ions to create a static-neutral part surface. The ionizing bar is attached to the Sonic XE Air Knife. The Sonic Inline HEPA Filter is utilized for critical cleanroom environments.

NOTE: On average a compressor is able to produce 4.5 SCFM at 100 psi per HP. This air must be cooled, dried, stored and transported to each point of use.
Average KWHR=$0.09. Operating cost is based on 5 day work week. Example A: 190.4 SCFM / 4.5 = 42.3 HPNOTE: On average a compressor is able to produce 4.5 SCFM at 100 psi per HP.
