Container drying system for packaging lines
Ensure precise label applications by efficiently removing moisture from the surface of containers, enhancing production line reliability and maintaining product integrity across an array of liquid-filled packaging formats.
Removes Water Droplets from Container Surfaces
The Ventilo Container Air Knife Dryers from GEA are engineered to precisely remove water droplets from the surfaces of containers such as glass bottles, PET/HDPE bottles, and cans. Employing adjustable air knives, the system ensures thorough drying by positioning the knives 1 mm from the surface, achieving high dryness levels ideal for label applications. The compact design allows easy retrofitting into existing high-speed packaging lines and can be configured with multiple modules to target specific areas like caps, necks, and bodies. This system supports continuous operation with modular adjustments, powered directly from the line electrical cabinet or an independent source as needed. With the inclusion of a drip tray and an inclined internal surface, the machine excels in preventing any residual moisture from compromising container quality.
