The Air Knife Water Removal System efficiently removes excess surface water from wet, freshly washed products. By generating two high-velocity air curtains across the width of a conveyor or washer discharge, the system lifts and separates the product to remove surface water, starch, and particles.
This process not only ensures cleaner products and conveyor belts but also reduces the energy consumption required for subsequent frying or freezing operations, enhancing overall processing efficiency.
Ideal Applications
- Potato chips
- Vegetables
- Fruit
- Plantain and banana chips
Product Highlights
Dewatering systems using one or two Air Knife plenums are easily installed on most washer discharge or transfer conveyors. For maximum removal of surface water and particles, our AirSweep dewatering system combines the Air Knife with a vacuum plenum.
