Tilt the two air knives slightly and present a blowing method that focuses on the torso and upper part.

The air knife's gap or slot can be adjusted in length to allow for a wider gap. This means that the air knife concentrated on the body can maintain a standard gap while separately adjusting the knife's gap at the top and bottom to hit the handle and the lower ring. This method not only ensures that the air effectively hits the body of the canister but also reduces the required power consumption. SONIC has also suggested further cost reductions by using ABS piping instead of plated steel pipes to lower prices. [Content] [Issues] ○ Yankee Gas faced the problem of propane gas canisters not being sufficiently dry before going to the painting process while changing their solvent-based painting system. ○ Proper drying of the canisters is essential for effective painting. ○ The drying method they were using involved compressed air, which was ineffective and did not adequately remove moisture for painting. ○ High humidity means that no matter how much compressed air is applied, moisture remains on the canisters.

There was no need for additional construction, and it fit into the existing production line.

Sonic Corporation decided to operate the Sonic150 with 25 horsepower and two air knives, and to circulate air to raise the temperature coming from the air knives. The concept behind Sonic Corporation's revolutionary VT (patent pending) design is to utilize the pressure heat from the blower by partially circulating air. The exit temperature from the air knife will be approximately 45°C to 50°C. This method does not require an external thermal system. The air knife is installed about 10mm away from the bottle, allowing the bottle to pass through at a wind speed of approximately 9,300m/min. The high-speed air and heated exit temperature melt the ice and turn the remaining moisture into mist. As a result, the bottles can be completely dried. [Content] [Issues] ○ Moisture and cold air leave water droplets on the glass, resulting in the reformation of droplets before labeling. ○ Labels cannot be applied until the bottles are dried. ○ The injection and labeling of bottles can only occur after the empty bottles are stacked in a warmed warehouse and heated.

I have made it possible to repeatedly position the air knife.

We proposed 12 Sonic 70 blowers with 7.5 horsepower motors, enclosures, Sonic HEPA filters, and two custom 13" Sonic XE air knives. The performance of the air knives delivered at the beginning of this system perfectly matched the blow level requested by the customer. The results of the impurity contamination tests also confirmed that Sonic's HEPA filters maintained the requested 0.3μ. Additionally, to operate most effectively while keeping the noise level below 80dB, the angle and distance of the air knives are very important, so we manufactured custom Sonic air knives that fit the existing air knife enclosures, allowing for repeated positioning of the air knives. [Content] [Issues] - Compressed air with HEPA filters - The factory was using more compressed air for automatic devices on the production line and other equipment on a daily basis - Due to the increased demand for compressed air, there was a need to add another air compressor to avoid pressure drops For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

It has been proven to be the most cost-effective solution.

Sonic Corporation proposed a method to install a rotating air knife (patented) from above and a standard air knife from the side, angled from top to bottom. Due to the low production speed and the complex shape of the engine block, the rotating air knife has proven to be suitable. The rotating air knife can achieve a rotational speed of 200 rpm. By rotating the air knife and then blowing, it can deliver multiple high-impact blows to the surface of the parts with a single air knife. In cases of such complex shapes, attempting to achieve the same drying with other methods would require the installation of six air knives. This technology has proven to reduce horsepower and provide the most cost-effective solution while utilizing limited space. [Content] [Issues] - The surface of the engine block has many complex irregularities, and if water remains in these areas, it can ultimately lead to defective products. - The factory has found existing drying methods to be inefficient and is seeking an urgent solution.

Non-contact water removal and drying of wire cables using Sonic Corporation's blower and air knife.

We would like to introduce a successful application of the Sonic SP Dryer cable drying machine. A manufacturer of low-voltage wires and cables, as well as bare aluminum and copper wires, needed to install a spark tester before the final packaging process. This meant that the wire running at 3000 feet per minute (900 m/min) had to be completely dried before the spark test. Due to the rapid increase in line speed, traditional methods became costly and inefficient. If the cable is not completely dried, the inspection machine may misidentify it as defective. Because of the high-speed production at 3000 feet per minute (900 m/min), Sonic recommended the SP dryer. This is a drying device housed in a box that features air knife technology (XE 42” long) with a centrifugal blower (Sonic 150, 20 horsepower) to achieve energy savings. For more details, please contact us or refer to the catalog.

Using it before the final drying provided results that exceeded expectations in terms of drying effectiveness.

Sonic Corporation's 96” (2.44m) air knife operates with the Sonic 100 (15 horsepower motor). Long steel plates flow under the air knife at a speed of 1.22m/min to 3.05m/min. The widths of these steel plates range from 48” to 96” (1.22m to 2.44m). Typically, this line runs for several days in two shifts and then stops for several days. Essentially, it operates continuously without stopping during the given shifts. This system provides unparalleled satisfaction to customers and has demonstrated exceptional drying effectiveness when used before final drying to blow away a significant amount of residual water. [Content] [Issues] ○ After blasting the material, it needs to be wiped and all remaining sand particles must be completely blown away. ○ In special cases, residual shot may occur after passing through the cleaning brush. ○ Residual shot material sticks to large electromagnetic surfaces, making transportation hazardous.

[To the owners of parking lots and parking lot construction companies] "I'm worried about not colliding with pedestrians when exiting the parking lot..." Among vehicle entrances to parking lots, stores, residences, and factories, particularly at entrances facing sidewalks or roadways, there is a risk of dangerous incidents such as collisions with pedestrians or between vehicles. To alleviate such concerns, Hotron proposes a [Vehicle Exit Warning Sensor] that detects vehicle departures using various sensors and alerts the surrounding area with LED lights and buzzers. The system consists of a simple configuration of "sensor" + "controller" + "switching power supply (24V)" + "LED rotating light." *Please note that a separate control panel is required to include the controller and switching power supply (24V) when using the exit warning system. *We kindly ask customers to arrange for the switching power supply (24V), LED rotating light, control panel, circuit breakers, etc. Since it can be retrofitted, it can also be used for existing parking lot entrances. We hope this will contribute to safer vehicle passage for everyone. ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

Japan is one of the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of major earthquakes occurring. Regarding the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake countermeasures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" For more details, please download the materials or contact us.
