Listed below are some of the problems that can occur during the production process of bottle steam tunnels and the solutions that Secomak can offer.

APPLICATION PROBLEM:

Steam tunnels are routinely used to shrink decorative sleeves on to the bottles. This can lead to drenched product travelling down the poduction line which is then carried over in to the final packaging.

Steam tunnels can create moisture on the bottle leading to degraded or spoilt packaging and a consequential increase in customer complaints.

A Secomak solution for drying bottles prior to entering a sleeve applicator ensures that all moisture is removed from the bottles allowing sleeves to be fitted with a better presentation.

Using Secomak Airknife Drying Systems, we can solve specific requirements for drying bottles prior to entering shrink sleeve applicators in bottling production lines.

The Secomak Airknife Drying Systems that can solve these wet bottle problems are:

• The PowerStrip (Right)
• The PowerDry
• The PowerStrip V
• Airknives & Airknife Kit

The benefits of using an Airknife Drying System for such bottle sleeve applications include

• A reduction in bottle reject rates guaranteeing quality is maintained.
• Preventing considerable amounts of waste on packing materials.
