Benefits of DOVAC stainless steel air knives
Superior corrosion resistance for demanding environments
DOVAC’s stainless steel air knives offer exceptional corrosion resistance, making them ideally suited for:
- Environments with frequent use of aggressive cleaning agents
- Processes involving acids or other corrosive substances
- High-humidity environments where traditional materials rapidly degrade
- Applications with strict hygiene requirements such as in food processing
The high-quality stainless steel construction allows our air knives to withstand intensive cleaning procedures without loss of quality. This makes them a reliable investment for companies operating under strict sanitary standards (HACCP, BRC, IFS) and where equipment integrity is crucial for product quality and safety.
Efficient and powerful performance
DOVAC stainless steel air knives are distinguished by their superior efficiency:
- Energy savings of up to 80%: Compared to conventional compressed air pipes or nozzles
- Laminar airflow: Ensures even and efficient drying or cooling
- Lower operating costs: Reduced air consumption for equal or better performance
These efficiencies translate directly to lower energy costs and faster ROI, while increasing the productivity and quality of your processes.
Main applications of stainless steel air knives
Food Industry
In the food industry, DOVAC stainless steel air knives are frequently used for:
- Drying of food products after washing or rinsing
- Removal of excess water from packaging for labeling
- Chilling of products before packaging or further processing
- Clean blowing of conveyor belts for improved hygiene
- Removal of crumbs or other particles from production lines
The stainless steel construction meets the food industry’s strict hygiene standards (HACCP compliance) and is easy to clean during daily cleaning procedures.
Chemical industry
In chemical processing environments, DOVAC stainless steel air knives offer crucial advantages:
- Resistant to corrosive substances and vapors
- Drying of products after chemical treatments or washing
- Removal of solvent residues from surfaces
- Cooling of chemical components during production
- Separation of products or materials on production line
The corrosion resistance and durability of stainless steel make these air knives ideally suited for the demanding conditions of the chemical industry, where conventional equipment would quickly degrade.
Pharmaceutical sector
The pharmaceutical industry places the highest demands on equipment, which DOVAC stainless steel air knives meet extremely well:
- Drying of drug containers such as vials, ampoules and blister trays
- Removal of dust particles from cleanroom equipment
- Cooling of products after sterilization
- Clean blowing of precision components for assembly
- Dehumidifying sensitive pharmaceutical products
The ability to thoroughly clean and sterilize these air knives makes them ideal for Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) environments where contamination prevention is essential.
Practical advantages in industrial applications
The use of DOVAC stainless steel air knives delivers demonstrable benefits in daily production processes:
- Increased productivity:Faster drying or cooling reduces production time
- Improved product quality: Consistent results through even airflow
