Easy integration for hot air blowers
Hot air blowers provide a constant stream of hot air at temperatures up to 300C and are ideal for industrial drying, heating and curing.
Air knife drying system speeds labelling
To ensure its world famous Tiptree preserve jars are properly dried prior to labelling, Wilkin and Sons has installed an air knife drying system at its Essex packaging plant.
This high velocity blower provides an instant source of independent air for Powerstrip drying systems, plus, the company claims, has enhanced levels of performance and is virtually maintenance-free.
The Powerstrip system now incorporates a unique two-wire container guidance system.
This allows the air knives to be positioned as close as possible to the product, resulting in more efficient drying compared to the original guard rails which could disrupt air flow, leaving the product wet in some areas.
Also available with the Powerstrip system is a new feature that removes all moisture from the tops of cans.
This is designed to eliminate corrosion and cracking which can occur if moisture is left on can tops.
Thermoshrink is a range of hot air tunnels designed specifically for sleeve and capsule shrinking.
The heat shrinking system employs electric heaters combined with a recirculating air system and a complete range of adjustments.
Applications include decoration and temper evidence sleeving, and promotional banding.
All tunnels within the range are equally suitable for use on production lines with hand application of sleeves or on lines with automatic application machinery.
Secomak also offer custom-built tunnels to meet individual customer specification.
Secomak air knives use low pressure, high velocity air to remove moisture, dust and waste material from almost any surface.
They are ideal for drying bottles and cans, tubes and extrusions, sheet material, components or any other products which need to be dried externally.
Energy costs can also be cut by up to 90% compared to other drying methods. Request a free brochure from Secomak ...
