1200mm Bar Air Knife for Wine Bottle Drying – SCB Industrial Drying Solution
1200mm bar Air Knife for Wine Bottle Drying， bottles are dry before they reach the labeling, packaging, inspection, or coding stages is critical to maintaining a stable production process. A 1200mm bar air knife offers a simple, practical solution for effectively removing moisture from the surfaces of bottles as they move along a production line. The system shown in the video utilizes two air ducts to connect a blower to a pair of air knives, which are positioned on either side of the conveyor belt. As the bottles pass through the air curtain, a high-velocity stream of air strips away surface moisture, preparing the bottles for the next steps in the production process.
The video demonstrates a real-world application at a customer’s facility:
1. Why choose a 1200mm bar air knife?
To ensure bottles are completely dry, products on a conveyor belt must pass through an air curtain of sufficient length—a dimension determined by the conveyor speed, the shape of the product, and the required level of dryness. Based on calculations and design work by our engineers, a 1200mm bar air knife was selected to ensure the bottles reach an optimal state of dryness as they pass through.
2. How does 1200mm bar Air Knife for Wine Bottle Drying
Following processes such as cleaning, rinsing, or filling, water droplets may remain on the outer surfaces of the bottles. If these bottles proceed directly to labeling or packaging, any residual moisture could interfere with those operations. An air knife generates a continuous, high-velocity air curtain; as bottles move through this curtain, the airflow effectively strips away and removes moisture from their surfaces.
3. Why use two air knives?
On round bottles, moisture can accumulate in various areas, and a single-sided airflow is often insufficient to provide complete coverage. By installing an air knife on each side of the conveyor belt, a uniform and continuous air curtain is created, eliminating any "drying blind spots." For wider production lines or faster conveyor speeds, the position and length of the air knife can be adjusted to meet specific production requirements. Additionally, the airflow volume can be fine-tuned to achieve optimal drying results.
4. Blower + Air Knife: Industrial Airflow Solutions
In applications involving the drying of wine bottles, a 1200mm bar air knife is typically paired with a suitable blower. The blower provides a continuous supply of air, which the air knife then converts into a concentrated, uniform curtain of air.
This combination offers a practical solution for industrial drying applications without the need for complex mechanical structures.

This results in a compact system that is easy to integrate into existing conveyor lines. For businesses requiring an industrial air-drying system, this "blower + air knife" configuration offers the flexibility to adapt to various production line layouts.
5. Applications Beyond Wine Bottles
While this example focuses on drying wine bottles, air knives are equally effective for many other production processes that require the removal of moisture or liquids from the surfaces of objects.
