Republic's extensive product range and manufacturing capabilities allow us to create solutions as unique as your business. Our air knife systems are customized for optimal and precise drying while ensuring operational efficiency.

Republic Air Knife Systems for canning and bottling lines are specifically engineered, manufactured, and tested to provide liquid, dust, and debris removal. This is especially important in the beverage industry before labeling, inkjet laser coding, packaging, or other secondary operations. Air knife systems provide solutions for problems such as:

• Labels not sticking
• Crooked labels
• Inkjet smearing
• Water carryover
• Water marks on packaging

Crate cleaning and drying is exceptionally challenging due to the many crevices and bends within the crates. Republic Air Knife Systems utilizes nozzle air knives to drive dust, debris, and moisture from the crates by applying a high-velocity and high-impact air stream. Applications include:

• Drying under bottles caps
• Drying crates

As air knives remove moisture, the resulting overspray can cause concerns. Wet floors create safety hazards, and sometimes, the water needs recapturing. Republic offers two drop-in solutions: All-In-One Drying Systems and Overspray Enclosures.

The Republic All-In-One Drying System is comprehensive in that it includes the blower, motor, air knives, and all necessary plumbing for the system. It provides overspray containment, recaptures liquid, and reduces noise.

Republic Overspray Enclosures provide overspray protection and an optional drain pan to recapture liquid while reducing noise levels. Overspray Enclosures are perfect to fit on existing systems and are available for a variety of conveyor sizes and heights.

Regenerative blowers evacuate air and other gases from bottles before filling. You will find Republic Regenerative Blowers in many bottle evacuation machines and processes.
