Sonic Case Studies in the Steel Industry [Removal of Residues on Plates]

We have started to reissue the catalog for tank dryers specialized for IBCs and totes. Sonic Air Systems' "DRY-IN-PLACE Tank Dryer" is a patented system that efficiently dries the interiors of tanks, IBCs, hoppers, barrels, and more. It eliminates the need for conventional heating devices and manual wiping, providing uniform drying with pressurized hot air at temperatures ranging from 150°F to 275°F. It circulates high-flow air at low pressure of 1-2 psig, achieving energy-efficient and rapid drying. This system is ideal for post-CIP drying in environments requiring hygiene management, such as food, pharmaceuticals, and chemical plants, contributing to improved product quality and safety. There are plenty of options available, such as portable blower carts and HEPA filters, allowing for customization to fit the installation environment. Compared to traditional drying methods, significant savings in time and energy can be expected.

We have added examples of air drying (water drainage/water droplet removal) using blowers and air knives manufactured by Sonic Corporation. This time, we have added two examples: - Painting process - Powder coating Please use this as a reference for one of your improvement measures.

Published by Business Center Co., Ltd. In the May 2025 issue of Monthly Food Machinery and Equipment, we contributed an article on the use of blowers and air knives manufactured by Sonic Corporation, which are part of our product lineup, for water drainage, drying, and blowing off. Solving the Unchanged Problems of the Blow Process After cleaning, there is always a process to dry the items before the next step. The drying method is still predominantly done by blowing. There are methods that use compressors and methods that use blowers. Additionally, the method varies depending on the size, shape, and time of the items. This time, since it is aimed at food machinery and equipment, the items include bottles, cans, PET bottles, and packs. We have been promoting Sonic Corporation in the Japanese domestic market for nearly 20 years. We utilized our achievements and experience to contribute this time.
