BLOWER ENHANCEMENTS

Functional Description
Introduction Dryer modules contain standard cylindrical airknives configured with two (2)
airknives installed above the conveyor belt facing down toward the belt and one
(1) airknife installed below the conveyor belt facing up toward the belt.
To enhance blower drying, replace the standard cylindrical airknives in all dryer
modules with Electrosonic™ airknives. The unique teardrop design maximizes air
velocity as it blows through the slot and produces a sheet of air. The adjustable
slot allows for optimal air delivery depending on blower configuration.
Based on residual weight gain testing performed on a variety of Printed Circuit
Board (PCB) assemblies run at 609.9, 1219.2, and 1828.8 mm/min. (2, 4, and 6
fpm), drying performance with Electrosonic™ airknives enhanced performance
25–68% over traditional cylindrical airknive systems.
