Pinch-Type Air Knife Drying Machine FT-205C
The FoodTec Pinch-Type Air Knife Drying Machine is designed to remove surface water, moisture, and residual liquids from products before labeling, packaging, or further processing. It is widely used in food processing, beverage production, packaging, and automated manufacturing lines.
The machine features upper and lower stainless steel mesh conveyor belts that securely hold products during conveying. This pinch-type design prevents lightweight or small products from shifting or lifting under high-velocity airflow, ensuring stable transportation and uniform drying performance. With four air knives—two above and two below the conveyor—the machine generate airflow to quickly and efficiently remove surface moisture. Both the conveyor speed and the air knife opening can be adjusted to suit different product sizes, shapes, and production requirements, providing flexible control of drying time and airflow intensity. For improved sanitation and maintenance, the upper conveyor belt can be easily removed for cleaning. A built-in drain tray beneath the machine collects water, oil, and other residual liquids, simplifying daily cleaning and maintenance. Optional flared air nozzles (blue nozzles located at the infeed section, as shown in the images) are available to generate concentrated impact airflow for removing stubborn residual liquids and further enhancing drying performance.
The entire machine is made of stainless steel with electrolytic polishing to meet food hygiene standards. It is easy to clean and highly durable, making it an ideal drying solution for modern food processing and packaging lines.
