This guide outlines the application goal of reducing the number of rejected bottles that require repackaging due to improper seating of heat shrink sleeves. The document details the challenges faced by a company before the installation of EXAIR Super Ion Air Knives, which included an increase in poor quality products attributed to static charges on both the sleeves and bottles. The guide explains how, after the installation of the air knives, the company experienced immediate improvements, eliminating repacking issues without additional operator effort. The air knives operated at a low pressure of 20 PSIG, producing a quiet noise level of 57 decibels and maintaining low air consumption of 9.9 SCFM. The summary concludes with the positive outcomes observed over a seven-month period, where the customer successfully increased production time and eliminated downtime caused by static-related issues.
