Price Industries has developed its drying systems through many years of research and development, and currently offer two different methods. One uses multiple air knives in a vertical position, and dependent on the product size, it indexes the knives back and forth across the part. A new method for drying that Price has developed is a de-humidifying system, which can be used in both rack and barrel applications. Rather than forcing air directly on the part we circulate dried heated air through and or across racked parts or a barrel, and then circulate this air through an off-line drying system that pulls the moisture out using chilled air.
Dependent upon the system throughput capacity we will build single or multiple bay systems. If required, we can design the system for an Air Make-up system to be attached allowing for clean warm air to the blowers. The air knives in the system are installed in pairs that oppose each other allowing turbulence in and around the part to facilitate immediate water removal, rather than dry it on the part. The blowers that supply the air to the knives are attached directly to a plenum that will carry the air, thus eliminating any hoses and connections.
