High-pressure air generated at a blower unit, delivered to the air and then discharged at a very high velocity
It is widely accepted throughout industry that compressed air is an expensive and energy inefficient option for many drying applications.
With companies looking to reduce costs, particularly in competitive and price-sensitive markets, there is now a solution on the market that can significantly cut these costs – JetStream.
An example is rolled and strip steel production where the cost of drying steel using compressed air delivered through nozzles can be extortionate.
The JetStream air knife system from Meech International not only removes the moisture from the steel strips in a more cost-efficient manner than compressed air alternatives, but due to its innovative design, JetStream delivers better moisture removal, therefore producing a drier and better quality product.
The basis of operation of the JetStream system is that high-pressure air is generated at a blower unit, delivered to the air knives via ducting and then discharged from the air knives at a very high velocity.
