[Sonic] (Example) Sonic Corporation Blower & Air Knife (Water Removal Drying Device) Video Added

Improved air knife of the conventional Tear Drop (tear-shaped) design! Enhanced blowing efficiency!!

■High-Speed XE Air Knife The Sonic Corporation's High-Speed XE Air Knife nozzle, further improved from the conventional Tear Drop shape, achieves excellent work efficiency. It efficiently laminarizes the air, resulting in minimal pressure loss and uniform blowing across the entire slot. A key feature is that there are no control plates inside the air knife, allowing for uniform blowing from end to end. Additionally, it effectively draws in the surrounding air to create a powerful blow. We offer a wide variety of options for the number, position, direction, and length of the nozzle's piping installation. We also provide the world's only rotary air knife.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Regarding the "quotation" used at the forefront of sales activities: "Do we need to save everything when we revise it to Ver.1, Ver.2, etc., every time the amount or specifications change?" "Should we also keep the data from other companies that were not selected in competitive quotations?" Have you ever wondered about these questions? The Electronic Bookkeeping Act strictly demands the "authenticity" of data, but saving all processes is a significant burden for the field. This time, we will clearly explain the boundaries of the preservation obligation in a case study format, incorporating interpretations from the latest National Tax Agency Q&A. *You can read the full text from the note in the "Related Links." [Contents of this article] 1. The boundary of the preservation obligation lies in "sending to external parties." Items sent externally are "generally required to be preserved." Items that have not been sent externally have "no preservation obligation." 2. Judgment from the sending side: "Is it linked to a transaction?" 3. Judgment from the receiving side: "The perspective of the 'Corporate Tax Act' is important." ■ Note! "Version revisions" and "corrections/deletions" are different things. ■ A smart way to ensure reliable "version management." ■ Summary.

We plan to exhibit at the Disaster Prevention Industry Exhibition 2026, which will be held at Tokyo Big Sight in the last week of January.
