Bottle / jar drying system

A bottle or jar drying system is an essential component placed after a rinser or filler to completely remove residual moisture from the container's exterior. Using precisely aimed, high-velocity air from "air knives," the system ensures the container is perfectly dry before it reaches critical downstream stages like labeling, coding, or shrink-sleeving.

Label adhesion problems, smeared ink codes, and water spots on packaging are almost always caused by inadequate drying. Our custom-engineered drying systems solve this problem. We don't use inefficient and expensive compressed air. Instead, we utilize a high-efficiency regenerative blower to generate a large volume of high-velocity air. This air is channeled to a series of strategically positioned air knives that create a "curtain" of air, stripping water from the bottle's cap, neck, body, and base as it passes through. The result is a perfectly dry container, ready for a flawless final presentation.

• Core Technology: High-efficiency regenerative or centrifugal air blowers
• Application: Multi-stage air knife configuration for targeted drying (cap, neck, body, under-base)
• Construction: Stainless steel enclosure with polycarbonate viewing windows, sound-dampening options
• Air Quality: Inlet filtration to protect blower and prevent contamination
• Adjustability: Fully adjustable air knives to accommodate different container sizes and shapes

• The Container: What is the bottle/jar's material, shape, and size? Are there difficult-to-dry areas (e.g., a recessed base)?
• The Line Speed: What is the throughput in containers per minute?
• The Moisture Source: Why is the container wet (rinser, pasteurizer, condensation)?
• The Goal: Why is drying critical (labeling, coding, sleeving, packing)?
