Sonic Corporation Blower & Air Knife System Case Study (VT Blower)

ティックコーポレーション本社

The blowers manufactured by Sonic, which we handle, use a centrifugal method. In other words, by increasing the rotation speed of the blower, a large air volume can be obtained, and this air can be efficiently delivered to the air knife. This air volume is converted into airspeed, playing a significant role in liquid drainage and drying. The Sonic blowers typically blow warm air at around +4°C above the ambient temperature. To promote drying, Sonic has successfully developed a blower that can circulate this air and blow it as hot air, which is hotter than warm air. This is very economical as it does not require the installation of a heat source like a heater in the piping, thus avoiding excessive running costs. Sonic refers to this blower as the VT blower (patented), and it is currently used in various industries and applications. For your reference, here is one example. We would appreciate it if you could take a look when you have time and consider whether it could be used for your company's applications. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our staff.

Sonic SMART TUNNEL for Sonic Corporation's air knife
A product that suppresses water splashing generated during the inspection, printing, labeling, and water drainage/drying of filled PET bottles, cans, bottles, and pouches before packaging.

The standard Sonic SMART Tunnel module is available in sizes 24", 48", 72", and 96" (optional: up to 120" with noise levels below 80dBA). Future product additions and line speed changes can be easily accommodated (support for full-length extensions or soundproofing). Noise levels can be reduced by 7 to 10dBA (optional to achieve below 80dBA). The standard air knife bracket requires minimal adjustments to fit the size of dedicated containers. With the separately sold indexed three-axis air knife bracket, various sizes of containers can be dried, and adjustments are easy. It comes with a sealed water droplet collection tray. Due to the aerodynamic tunnel design, there is less chance of re-wetting the workpiece from secondary splatter. The inspection panel is lightweight and can be easily lifted. No hinges or latches are needed for bending or securing. A complete piping and hose kit for the Sonic blower is included. No processing of the conveyor is required except for cutting the side rails. The enclosure can be easily installed even if it is away from the tunnel, allowing easy access to blowers and filters installed on the floor. No lifting or crane is needed for tunnel installation. The tunnel can be installed while the existing conveyor is in operation. Noise reduction.

Seeing is believing! Improve drying and reduce running costs by using a high-speed air knife to blow off air discharged from a high-volume blower!

A job that required a pressure of 0.4 MPa has been achieved with just 29 kPa! When comparing the airflow of a compressor and a sonic blower, 62.5 horsepower is needed to obtain an airflow of 7 m³/min with a compressor. In contrast, the sonic blower can achieve this with only 4 horsepower. The difference is significant compared to compressors and domestic blowers!
