Jet drying

Jet drying is a surface technology used in various industrial sectors to remove moisture or solvents from surfaces. This process uses a high velocity air stream that is directed at the surface to be dried. The energy of the airflow accelerates the evaporation of moisture, drying the surface quickly and efficiently.

This process is used in sectors such as the printing industry, paper manufacturing, food processing and painting. In the printing industry, for example, jet drying is used to fix the ink on printed material and enable rapid further processing. In food processing, it can be used to remove moisture from food packaging and improve shelf life.

One advantage of jet drying is its efficiency and speed. The direct contact of the airflow with the surface allows moisture to be removed quickly, resulting in a shorter drying time. In addition, jet drying enables precise control of the drying process, which leads to uniform results and ensures high product quality.

Furthermore, blast drying is an environmentally friendly option as it consumes less energy compared to other drying methods and no harmful chemicals are used. This makes it a sustainable solution for companies looking to optimize their production processes and minimize their environmental impact.
