Air Knife

Wires Cables Tubes Profiles Exstrusions Drying Air Knife System

The process of extruding an insulating layer or jacketed cover over a wire then requires a cold water bath to bring the extrusion to a manageable temperature.

Raico can design and supply air knife systems for a single or multiple srands/profiles.

Raico’s air knife system has shown itself to be a most effective drying system, after the cooling bath, for all of our wire/cable/tubes/ profiles extrusions manufacturers

Cables-Wires after extrusion, normally passes through water bath tank to cool.

These Cables-Wires coming out of water bath, requires a very effective removal / drying of surface water.                                 

The most effective, efficient and economical method of drying these Cables-Wires, is by installing 

AIR KNIFE SYSTEM , after Cables-Wires comes out of water tank.

          RAICO’S AIR KNIFE SYSTEMS offers following special advantages

* In Line System, requiring a very limited space.

* A very low cost, energy saving and efficient drying.

* This system can be designed for drying single-multiple Cables-Wires, coming out of extruder.

* This system can be designed, to match the required production speeds.

* This system can be used, for any size of Cables-Wires, as long as it is within its operating area.

* Required height adjustment, and proper positioning of AIR KNIFES, is possible to meet most production lines.

* PACKAGED AIR KNIFE SYSTEM is a stand alone, self sufficient unit, having painted blower stand, and adjustable S S MOUNTING SYSTEM for AIR KNIFES, and all connecting accessories.

* Blown water can be collected back in to cooling water tank to save water.

* AIR KNIFE SYSTEM adds to further cooling of Cables-Wires

Manufacturing components from plastic/ rubber/metals can be both helped or hindered by the presence of water. RAICO is able to supply drying systems in all manufacturing stages to ensure that water does not compromise the vital drying/ forming /bonding processes. 
During the manufacture of rubber /plastic/metal products for applications such as door and window seals, or other extruded shapes, RAICO is replacing compressed air and other drying methods with a very short payback period.

Air Knife Packaged System consists of Air Knife System Components like Air Knife, Blowers, Pipe & fittings and mounting stand.

All these are mounted on a stand and preconnected. Mounting of Air Knife is so, that it allows positioning of Air Knife in all possible directions including angular adjustment. This will ensure Air Knife can be positioned properly for most profiles and sizes of products. Stand and fittings can be made in M.S. With plating or painting or in 304 or 316 S.S. as per application demand.

Salient Features of such systems are:

• Ready to use stand alone, preconnected and pre-mounted unit
• Standard construction will meet requirements on most applications. If required, Custom made unit can be provided
• Such systems can be shifted to any production line on demand
• Such systems offer ease of Maintenance (on site or away from site) without down time or disturbance to production line.
• With such systems no mountings or modifications required on existing conveyor or production lines.
