[Sonic] Water Drainage Drying Case Studies: Issues with Bottle Labeling

Water removal drying is "not easy"! Insufficient drying of cans and bottles can lead to many defects such as label peeling, printing defects, condensation, and reduced cardboard strength. Sonic's system, using blowers and air knives, maintains a stable airspeed even on high-speed lines, ensuring reliable moisture removal. It achieves up to 75% energy savings compared to compressed air, improving both quality and cost simultaneously. With custom designs tailored to container shapes, line speeds, and processes, it can also address challenges in existing equipment. It enhances the drying process in beverage and food lines for high efficiency.

We have uploaded examples on our company website using blowers and air knives from Sonic Corporation. - (Example 18) Cleaning and drying of contact lens pallets - (Example 19) Drying before painting the deck of a lawn mower - (Example 20) Medical equipment - Dust adhesion prevention using air knives and static elimination bars We hope this serves as a reference for your company's blow improvement themes. Thank you.

We have published a technical report summarizing the latest improvement cases related to the drying process in tire manufacturing lines. Based on empirical data collected from a large truck tire factory in the United States, the report organizes key points related to stabilizing drying quality and energy conservation. It details how improvements were made to address issues such as drying unevenness and the risks associated with compressed air, which were difficult to resolve with conventional methods—this specific process is thoroughly introduced in the PDF. Additionally, it includes perspectives useful for on-site improvements, such as the adaptability to line speed, criteria for selecting drying systems, and the status of deployment in overseas factories. The content will also be beneficial for engineers involved in the drying processes of resin and rubber processing lines, as well as tire manufacturing. If you are interested in optimizing the drying process or utilizing air knives and blowers, please download the PDF and take a look.

We have added examples of air drying (draining/droplet removal) using blowers and air knives manufactured by Sonic Corporation. This time, we have included three cases: - Drying of ampoules for pharmaceuticals - Drying of pallets for contact lenses - Elimination of belt scrapers and doctor blades without contact Please use these as a reference for your company's improvement measures.
