SubscribeA new increased-efficiency can drying system that is easy to install and adjust to cope with different can heights has been introduced by Air Control Industries Ltd of Chard. Its first public showing will at Drinktec in September.
Based upon a tunnel configuration, ACI's can drying system features specially configured slots that direct air to remove water efficiently whilst driving it downwards and out of the enclosed area. Also, the enclosed environment ensures the water is contained and the drying air performs more effectively than with conventional 'open' alternatives.
Noise attenuation is another benefit of the enclosed design. ACI's Can Tunnels are simple and quick to install; they simply rest on brackets attached to the conveyor. The system also permits height adjustments to cope with different can heights to be performed easily, even by a single operator.
ACI's new tunnel systems, which are suitable for high-speed lines, are compatible with the company's DRI-Line systems, either as part of an open arrangement (EL) or a totally enclosed one (LL).
