By rotating the air knife, even complex shapes can be optimally drained/dried!

A rotary air knife that seems like it should exist but doesn't The Sonic Corporation's rotary air knife (patented) has been developed for draining (blow-off) and drying parts with complex shapes. The gaps in the air knife are angled at 15° relative to the rotating axis, allowing it to eject high-speed air while changing the blowing surface at regular intervals for the areas that require draining or drying. This effectively drains and dries the uneven surfaces and sides of the workpiece, as a single air knife passes over the workpiece multiple times. The rotary air knife can reduce energy costs compared to draining/drying done by multiple air knives. Additionally, it saves space since the installation of multiple air knives is unnecessary.

Tilt the two air knives slightly and present a blowing method that focuses on the body and upper part.

The gap or slot of the air knife can be adjusted in length to allow for a wider gap. This means that the air knife, which is concentrated on the body, can maintain a standard gap while separately adjusting the knife gap at the top and bottom to hit the handle and the lower ring. This method not only allows the wind to effectively hit the body of the canister but also reduces the required power consumption. SONIC has also suggested further cost reduction by switching from plated steel pipes to ABS piping to lower prices even more. [Contents] [Issues] ○ Yankee Gas faced the problem of propane gas canisters not being sufficiently dry before going to the painting process while changing their solvent-based painting system. ○ Proper drying of the canisters is essential for effective painting. ○ The drying method they were using involved compressed air, which was ineffective and did not adequately remove moisture for painting. ○ High humidity means that no matter how much compressed air is applied, moisture remains on the canisters.

There was no need for additional construction, and it fit into the existing production line.

Sonic Corporation decided to operate the Sonic150 with 25 horsepower and two air knives, and to circulate air to raise the temperature coming from the air knives. The concept behind Sonic Corporation's revolutionary VT (patent pending) design is to utilize the pressure heat from the blower by partially circulating air. The exit temperature from the air knives will be approximately 45°C to 50°C. This method does not require an external thermal system. The air knives are installed about 10mm away from the bottles, allowing the bottles to pass through at a wind speed of approximately 9,300m/min. The high-speed air and heated exit temperature melt the ice and turn the remaining moisture into a mist. As a result, the bottles can be completely dried. [Content] [Issues] ○ Moisture and cold air leave water droplets on the glass, resulting in the reformation of water droplets before labeling. ○ Labels cannot be applied until the bottles are dried. ○ The injection and labeling of bottles require empty bottles to be stacked in a heated warehouse, and this process can only occur after they have been warmed.

I have made it possible to repeatedly position the air knife.

We proposed 12 Sonic 70 blowers with 7.5 horsepower motors, enclosures, Sonic HEPA filters, and two custom Sonic XE air knives measuring 13 inches. The performance of the air knives delivered at the beginning of this system perfectly matched the blow level requested by the customer. The results of the contamination test also confirmed that Sonic's HEPA filters maintained the requested 0.3μ. Additionally, to operate most effectively while keeping the noise level below 80dB, the angle and distance of the air knives are very important, so we manufactured custom Sonic air knives to fit the existing air knife enclosures, allowing for repeated positioning of the air knives. [Content] [Issues] - Compressed air with HEPA filters - The factory was using more compressed air for automatic devices on the production line and other equipment on a daily basis. - They were compelled to add another air compressor to avoid pressure drops due to increased demand for compressed air.

It has been proven to be the most cost-effective solution.

Sonic Corporation proposed an arrangement to blow a rotating air knife (patented) from above and a standard air knife from the side, positioned diagonally from top to bottom. Due to the low production speed and the complex shape of the engine block, it has been proven that the rotating air knife is suitable. The rotating air knife can achieve a rotation speed of 200 rpm. By rotating the air knife and then blowing, it can deliver multiple high-impact blows to the surface of the parts with a single air knife. In cases of such complex shapes, attempting to achieve the same drying with other methods would require the installation of six air knives. This technology has proven to reduce horsepower and provides the most cost-effective solution while utilizing limited space. [Content] [Issues] - The surface of the engine block has many complex irregularities, and if water remains in these areas, it can ultimately lead to defective products. - The factory has found existing drying methods to be inefficient and is seeking urgent solutions.

Non-contact water removal and drying of wire cables using Sonic Corporation's blower and air knife.

We would like to introduce a successful application of the Sonic SP Dryer cable drying machine. A manufacturer of low-voltage wires and cables, as well as bare aluminum and copper wires, needed to install a spark tester before the final packaging process. This meant that the wire, running at 3000 feet per minute (900 m/min), had to be completely dried before the spark test. Due to the rapid increase in line speed, traditional methods became costly and inefficient. If the cable is not completely dried, the inspection machine may misidentify it as defective. Because of the high-speed production at 3000 feet per minute (900 m/min), Sonic recommended the SP dryer. This is a drying device housed in a box that features energy-saving air knife technology (XE 42” long) with a centrifugal blower (Sonic 150, 20 horsepower).

Using it before the final drying provided results that exceeded expectations in terms of drying effectiveness.

Sonic Corporation's 96” (2.44m) air knife operates with the Sonic 100 (15 horsepower motor). Long steel plates flow under the air knife at speeds of 1.22m/min to 3.05m/min. The widths of these steel plates range from 48” to 96” (1.22m to 2.44m). Typically, this line runs for several days in two shifts and then stops for several days. Essentially, it operates continuously without stopping during the given shifts. This system provides unparalleled satisfaction to customers and has achieved exceptional drying effects when used before final drying to blow away a significant amount of residual water. [Content] [Issues] ○ After blasting the material, it needs to be wiped and all remaining sand particles must be completely blown away. ○ In special cases, residual shot can occur that passes through the cleaning brush. ○ Residual shot material sticks to large electromagnetic components, making transportation hazardous.

Spraying fine particles without pressure! Atomization through the vibration of piezoelectric ceramics!! Low power consumption and low energy costs!!

Ultrasonic waves generated by piezoelectric ceramics are transmitted to the spray nozzle (atomizer), where they vibrate the liquid film to create extremely fine particles for spraying. Liquid can be supplied and sprayed into fine particles without the need for pressurization. The flow rate varies depending on the model, but it can accommodate a wide range from a minimum flow rate of 10 ml/min to a maximum of 100 ml/min. Since pressure is not applied to the liquid, there is very little splatter or rebound, eliminating waste of the applied liquid. Additionally, there is no need for a large painting booth. This achieves a reduction in capital investment and running costs. *This product is a dedicated accessory for the ultrasonic spray nozzle manufactured by Sonia Corporation.
