Why use a blower instead of a compressor with air knives?
Compressed air from a compressor uses considerably more power than a blower.
- The combination of air knife + (turbo)blower delivers the same drying result at a correctly calculated operating point
- Energy consumption is a fraction of that of compressed air
- DOVAC supplies the complete installation: air knife, blower, hoses, clamps and accessories

- Can DOVAC calculate whether my product will really be dry?
"
Yes, this is one of DOVAC's specialisms. The calculation takes into account:
- belt speed and cycle time
- product shape and amount of residual water
- number of air knives and their position relative to the product
- required air volume and blower pressure
Around 90 to 95% of our air knife applications are in the food and packaging industry.
