Air knife drying systems are versatile and can be used in all sectors of manufacture. They are used in a number of drying processes that are required within manufacture lines such as drying items before they move onto the next stage of manufacture or giving them a final dry before they are packaged.
Air knife drying systems are developed by specially qualified engineers to ensure that they are as energy efficient as possible and are a much more cost effective alternative to using compressed air.
Air knife drying systems are relatively inexpensive to purchase and operate. They provide a consistent high speed and high impact curtain of air that heats-up 20Fdegrees above ambient temperature. This is due to the friction associated with 30,000+ exit air velocities.
Using Air Knife Drying Systems in Food Production
The air knife drying systems can be used in manufacturing plants to improve the drying received and decrease the amount of compressed air that is used (as well as reducing the associated utilities costs that are required for the use of compressed air). The air knife drying systems are specifically designed to accommodate all products that a food or beverage production line may be asked to handle. They are the most effective method of drying, especially where a high degrees of dryness is required (90-100%).
Air knife drying systems provide the following advantages within the food production industry:
- Production lines run faster
- Production lines occupy less space
- Production lines are cleaner
- Production lines more flexibility and operate more efficiently
Air knife drying systems can be used in a number of different food production line systems such as:
The main manufacture of air knife drying systems is Sonic, one of the main distributors of Air Knife Drying Systems is Process Systems Services Pty Ltd.
Steel is a time tested material which has proven to be very effective for belt ovens. The main use for Steel Belt Ovens is biscuits/cookies, however, they can also be used for pies, pastries and even some pet food products.
Steel belts are often exposed to extreme mechanical and thermal stress. For this reason it is important to purchase your steel belt oven from a reputable manufacture who you know will provide steel that will withstand these extreme conditions. Process Systems Services Pty Ltd manufactures the highest quality steel belt ovens.
Hygiene advantages of Steel Belt Ovens
Steel belt ovens are primarily used in the food processing industry; this is due to its high hygiene level. Steel has a completely flat, smooth surface; this means that it does not have any crevices for dirt and other foreign particles to lodge into. Steels hardness and durability enables for easy and efficient cleaning of all surfaces with a variety of different cleaning methods such as heat, scrubbing, high pressure sprays and chemicals. Additionally, the hard surface makes it more durable and therefore your oven will have a much longer life-span. Steel is not able of absorbing bacteria in the way that other, more natural materials are, for example, wood. A lot of foods contain acid which have a tendency to cause pitting which creates the perfect environment for bacteria to grow and bread. Steel is not affected by acid and therefore does not and therefore avoids this problem and is ideal for cooking acidic foods. When all these things are taken into consideration it is clear that steel belts is the most hygiene option for industrial ovens.

Importance of a good Process Line
As a producer you have a responsibility to create the best quality goods in the most effective and efficient environment. Creating an efficient and effective process line is essential in any production process. A process line needs to be carefully planned from start to finish and every step in-between to ensure that your production. Each section of a production line plays a valuable role in producing the highest quality product for your consumer.
