Developed by Sonic in 1995, its modular design and infinitely adjustable gap have emerged as the standard design for industrial applications. It is available in hard anodized aluminum as well as stainless steel. Multiple inlet options accommodate most space constraints. The Sonic Rotary Air Knife (PATENT PENDING) was developed by Sonic for the blow-off and drying of complex parts. The air knife slot is at an angle of 15 degrees to the axis of rotation, thereby delivering high velocity air at a constantly changing direction with respect to the part being dried. This means that the leading edge, trailing edge and sides of a part can be effectively dried, usually with a single Air Knife performing multiple passes over a part. This saves both energy and space as the Sonic Rotary Air Knife does the job of multiple fixed Air Knives. Stationary or indexed parts or batches can also be dried effectively – usually impractical for conventional stationary air knives The Sonic Sanitary Air Knife is designed for direct blow-off-air to food contact, and meets 3A Standards for clean-ability. Designed with Tri-Clamp fittings, it can be quickly disassembled for periodic cleaning and sanitization.  The Sonic XE Air Knife with Ionizing Bar removes dust and debris while simultaneously introducing a positive stream of ions to create a static neutral part surface. The ionizing bar is attached to the Sonic XE Air Knife. The Sonic Inline HEPA Filter is utilized for critical clean room environments.
