Republic Air Knife Drying Systems are custom designed for your specific application. With our special accessories you can direct air flow to the precise spot that you need it without introducing other contaminants.

These air knife systems are engineered, manufactured and tested to provide a 100% dry parts prior to labeling, ink jet coding, packaging or other secondary operations. The air knife assembly is available in extruded aluminum or stainless steel, with lengths from 1" up to 196" and with an adjustable gap for proper air stream control.

Additionally, the air velocity can be adjusted in the field with an optional butterfly or dampener valve to provide the appropriate pressure and air stream as required by the process.
