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 Sonic SMART Tunnel is a versatile water drainage drying system. It is a turnkey product designed to dry PET bottles, cans, and jars before inspection, printing, labeling, or packaging, with a processing capacity of 100 to 1500 CPM. Adaptability: The Sonic SMART Tunnel is a modular system. Due to its bolt-on design, it can be easily expanded if changes in product size or additional air knife configurations are needed due to increased production line demands.
basic information
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.

An article on the use of Sonic Corporation's blowers and air knives, which are handled by our company, for water drainage, drying, and blowing away will be featured in the May 2025 issue of the Monthly Food Machinery Equipment.
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. If you are interested in the document, we would be grateful if you could take a moment to read it. Also, if anyone would like to read this article, please feel free to contact our staff.

We have added a case study video of Sonic Corporation's blowers to our YouTube channel.
【Sonic】Sonic Corporation's Blower & Air Knife System Describing drying and water droplet removal using a blower in words is extremely difficult. Therefore, Sonic Corporation has compiled case studies and demo videos accumulated so far. We hope this serves as a reference for your company. The additional case this time is: - Golf ball drying device ≪What is Sonic Corporation's Blower & Air Knife System?≫ When performing water removal/drying using compressed air, a compressor is necessary. Especially when removing water from wide products with a compressor, a large amount of air and a certain length of air knife are required. In other words, a significant cost is incurred to generate the air. Sonic Corporation's blower employs a centrifugal blower that can produce a large volume of air. This blower operates at low horsepower and can generate airflow equivalent to or greater than that of a compressor. This large volume of air creates high-speed air from Sonic Corporation's tear-shaped air knife, and the wind speed breaks the surface tension. This is how water removal/drying is performed. The electricity cost at that time is about 1/4 of the cost required for compressed air to produce the same volume of air.
