The Powerstdp system now incorporates a novel two-wire container guidance system. This allows the air knives to be positioned as close as possible to the product, resulting it is thought in more efficient drying compared to the original guard rails which could disrupt air flow, leaving the product wet in some areas. Also available with the Powerstrip system is a new feature that removes all moisture from the tops of cans. This is designed to eliminate corrosion and cracking which can occur if moisture is left on can tops.

Secomak air knives use low pressure, high velocity air to remove moisture,dust and waste material from almost any surface. They are believed to be ideal for drying bottles and cans, tubes and extrusions, sheet material, components or any other products which need to be dried externally. Energy costs can reportedly can be cut by up to 90 per cent compared to other drying methods.
