Tornado system removes water from food packaging

By Secomak on

Product Details Supplier Info More products

The Secomak Tornado, a water removal system that eliminates water from food containers and packaging, has been recognised in the 2009 Machinery of Excellence category at the Starpack Awards.

This product uses the Coanda aerodynamic effect to create blasts of suction from specially profiled Ringjet air amplifiers.

The technology has been fully tested in the company’s Drying Centre, part of the Sustainable Energy Laboratories at Hertfordshire University.

The unit incorporates a fully patented coaxial jet system to first displace and then remove bulk water from the ends of containers, especially in the canning process.

In high-speed conveyor lines in the food-and-drink industry, it has achieved energy savings of at least 30 per cent compared with conventional solutions.

An additional energy saving is achieved with a Secomak Airsaver unit, which provides ’supply-on-demand’ control.

Energy efficiency and low-noise operation are key features, along with stainless-steel construction, low maintenance and ease of fitting, according to the company.
