Removing unwanted water from the outside of bottles can be speeded up using bottle dryers from air movement specialist Secomak. Using air knives which produce high velocity air, they remove all liquid and dirt from external surfaces. Due to the unique design of the air knives, bottle dryers can be used on bottles of any shape and size, and use 90 percent less energy than thermal heaters. By atomising the water, the problem of staining or streaking is also avoided. Throughput is greatly increased, as there is no need to cool the bottles after drying.
