Drying Steel - Cheaper and More Effective with JetStream

15.10.08

An excellent example is rolled and strip steel production where the cost of drying steel using compressed air delivered through nozzles can be extortionate. The JetStream air knife system from Meech International not only removes the moisture from the steel strips in a more cost-efficient manner than compressed air alternatives, but due to its innovative design, JetStream delivers better moisture removal, therefore producing a drier and better quality product.

The basis of operation of the JetStream system is that high-pressure air is generated at a blower unit, delivered to the air knives via ducting and then discharged from the air knives at a very high velocity.

“JetStream proves itself time and time again for challenging drying applications.” explains Adam Battrick, International Product Manager for Meech’s JetStream products. “Not only does it dry efficiently but it can replace existing and costly compressed air systems that are commonly used, providing increased performance for considerably lower running costs. In many instances JetStream pays for itself in a matter of weeks or months, rather than years.”
