Integrated drying station — a complete blower, air knife, conveyor and control solution rather than a component-only purchase.
Upper and lower blow-off — multiple air knives can remove water from both sides of a product during one conveyor pass.
Adjustable process time — variable conveyor speed allows the drying exposure time to be matched to the product and water load.
Controlled wet area — the enclosed drying zone, splash panels and collection tray help keep removed water away from surrounding equipment.
Blower-powered continuous airflow— dedicated high-speed centrifugal blowers support wide, continuous production-line drying.
Application-specific design — working width, conveyor length, drying-zone length, blower quantity and air knife layout can be engineered to the line.
Product Key Selling Points
The QXY Mesh-Belt Air Knife Drying System integrates the air source, air knife array, conveyor, splash enclosure, water collection and electrical controls into one engineered station for continuous, non-contact water removal.

System Structure & Working Principle
•Product conveying — parts enter the machine on a SUS304 mesh belt. The open belt structure supports the product while allowing airflow and removed water to pass through.
•Air supply — high-speed centrifugal blowers deliver continuous airflow through the system piping to the air knife array.
•Airflow conversion — the fluid-accelerating air knives convert blower air into concentrated sheet airflow directed toward the wet surfaces.
•Multi-directional water removal — upper and lower knives can be staggered or angled to sweep water from flat faces, edges, recesses and other target areas.
•Water containment — the splash enclosure limits water scatter, while the lower collection structure separates water from the blower and electrical area.
•Controlled discharge — products leave the drying zone at a repeatable line speed for inspection, assembly, coding, labeling, packaging or the next process.
Main System Components
•SUS304 mesh conveyor — effective width, total length, support structure and line speed are selected according to product dimensions, weight and production capacity.
•Drying enclosure — SUS304 splash panels and protective transparent panels provide process visibility while helping contain water inside the blow-off zone.
•Air knife array — upper, lower or application-specific air knife positions can be configured with different lengths, working distances and angles.
•Centrifugal blower module — blower quantity and rating are matched to the number and length of air knives, piping resistance and required duty point.
•Adjustment mechanism — selected designs can include manual angle adjustment or electric lifting for upper air knives when product height changes.
•Electrical control — conveyor and blower controls can be centralized; supplied drawings show touchscreen-based operation with Chinese and English interface requirements.
•Line integration — infeed height, discharge height, equipment direction and upstream/downstream connection can be adapted for a new line or retrofit project.
Reference System Configurations

Integrated System Advantage
Comparison Item | QXY Integrated Drying System | Component-Only / Improvised Setup |
Engineering Scope | Blower, air knives, conveyor, enclosure, drainage and controls designed as one process | Individual components require separate matching and coordination |
Surface Coverage | Upper/lower or multi-angle knife layout based on product geometry | Coverage depends on later installation decisions |
Process Time | Adjustable conveyor speed provides repeatable exposure time | Treatment time may depend on manual handling or an existing line |
Water Management | Splash enclosure and collection structure included in the machine design | Water containment and drainage must be added separately |
Mechanical Fit | Working width, line height and machine interfaces are customized | Brackets, piping and line connections require site modification |
Control | Conveyor and blower operation can be centralized | Separate component controls may need additional integration |
Application Support | Selection considers water load, geometry, throughput and available footprint | Component selection may focus on nominal power or size only |
About Us & Custom Inquiry
Shenzhen Qixingyuan Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd.
QXY manufactures industrial air knife products and supporting air systems, including aluminum alloy, stainless steel and PVC air knives, centrifugal blowers, mounting hardware and customized conveyor drying equipment. System proposals are developed from product data, line conditions and installation drawings rather than from a single nominal equipment size.
Customers can provide products, samples, production requirements or an existing line layout. Our engineering team can then confirm the conveyor structure, airflow layout, blower configuration, machine dimensions and control requirements for quotation and design.

For a faster proposal, please provide: product length, width, height, weight and material; photos or drawings; the location and approximate amount of residual water; required throughput or conveyor speed; required drying result; available footprint and line height; electrical supply; upstream/downstream equipment; and any special material, control or language requirements.
FAQ
Q:Is this a fixed standard machine?
A:No. The drawings show reference configurations. Conveyor dimensions, blower quantity, air knife arrangement and controls are selected for the actual application.
Q:Can the system dry both sides of a product?
A:Yes. A mesh conveyor allows upper and lower air knives to treat both sides during one pass when product stability and support are suitable.
Q:Does the system require heated air?
A:The supplied reference designs use high-velocity blower airflow and do not document a heater. Any temperature requirement must be evaluated separately before quotation.
Q:Can it be added to an existing line?
A:Yes. Please provide the existing conveyor width, line height, speed, direction, available footprint, product information and site photographs.
Q:How is the number of air knives selected?
A:Selection depends on product width and geometry, line speed, drying-zone length, water load, working distance and the blower operating point. More knives do not automatically produce better drying if airflow is not matched.
