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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

In areas such as construction sites and mountainous regions after rain, the ground can become muddy, causing vehicle and heavy machinery tires to sink. If the tracks become deep, it can lead to decreased work efficiency and changes in the flow of movement on site. Hyper CLT mats are lightweight wooden mats that utilize CLT. By laying them down on temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery work yards, and material storage areas, they can reduce the area where vehicles make direct contact with the ground, serving as a measure to mitigate the disturbance of weak ground. The 5×10 mats weigh approximately 230 kg, making them relatively lightweight, and depending on site conditions, they can be easily installed, removed, or relocated using small machinery. It is also possible to consider replacing them in necessary locations according to the progress of construction and the condition of the ground. However, wooden mats alone do not completely reinforce the ground. It is important to check the ground's bearing capacity, settlement, slope, drainage, and vehicle weight, and to use them in combination with crushed stone, ground improvement, and fixing methods. Hyper CLT mats are registered under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS technology "TH-250021-A." With wooden mats, NETIS, civil engineering, CLT, and lightweight wooden mats as new options, stable work pathways can be created on sites with weak ground.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding repair methods can alter the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" or "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for metal crack repair without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material with heat. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized.

● The production time for casting prototypes can be shortened! Since model production is not required, the time needed to create prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! Different products, such as similar shapes or variations in dimensions, can be molded at the same time in one molding process. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.
