Hyroic Drying System Capabilities
System Design & Performance
Hyroic specialises in drying systems for the food and beverage industry. They are designed to remove moisture from cans and bottles quickly and efficiently from products. Our solutions help manufacturers improve product quality, energy efficiency, and operational performance
We offer a complete range of drying systems, precision drying, enclosures. Each system is designed to deliver precise and consistent drying performance while reducing energy consumption and maintenance requirements.
Due to the geometrical shape of the products, our systems reduce operating costs, and lower energy consumption with minimal air losses throughout the system.
Yes. All Hyroic systems are designed for easy integration into current production lines, which minimises downtime from installation and commissioning.
Compressed air often contains oil, making it unsuitable for food and beverage applications. Hyroic systems use clean, oil-free air, ensuring safe, hygienic drying that meets food safety standards. Our systems also offer less maintenance which can be performed by an internal maintenance team.
Hyroic Systems does not design bespoke drying systems. However, our parent company, Air Control Industries (ACI), specialises in custom-engineered solutions tailored to specific requirements not covered by Hyroic Systems.
Our systems are low-maintenance. The filters will need to be changed annually which can be performed by an on-site maintenance team. Regular cleaning and basic inspection are typically sufficient to keep them performing at peak efficiency. Technical support and servicing are also available when required.
Yes. Hyroic offers stainless-steel and washdown-ready designs suitable for hygienic food and beverage processing environments. Our systems are built to meet strict hygiene and safety standards on your site.
Yes, we do. While Hyroic Systems focuses on food and beverage drying applications, other sectors such as automotive, pharmaceutical, and manufacturing are supported through our parent company, Air Control Industries (ACI).
There is an installation process for the UK only, this involves installing and commissioning.
The warranty on Hyroic Systems is 24 months

An air knife drying system is used to remove moisture, dust, or debris from products and surfaces using high-velocity air.
The system directs a uniform sheet of high-speed air through a narrow gap (the “knife”) to blow water or contaminants off the surface of a product. The air is supplied by a blower, which delivers consistent airflow across the product’s surface as it moves along a conveyor.
- Fast and effective drying
- Reduced energy consumption compared to compressed air
- Minimal maintenance requirements
- Improved product quality and appearance
- Enhanced production efficiency by reducing downtime
Compressed air relies on stored, high-pressure air, which is costly and inefficient for continuous drying. Blower-powered drying, on the other hand, uses ambient air that’s accelerated by a centrifugal blower, offering consistent airflow at a fraction of the energy cost.
Bottles are typically dried using air knife systems positioned above, besides, and sometimes below the conveyor. These knives blow away moisture after washing or rinsing, preparing bottles for labelling or packaging without water spots or residue.
Beverage cans are passed through an air knife drying tunnel or system that directs high-velocity air around the entire surface of each can. This ensures they’re completely dry before labelling, coding, or filling operations.
A hygienic, stainless-steel air knife drying system is ideal for food processing lines. These systems are designed for easy cleaning, use filtered air and help maintain product quality by removing water without heat or contamination risk.
Key factors include:
- Air velocity and pressure
- Distance between the air knife and the product
- Product shape and surface texture
- Conveyor speed
- Air temperature and humidity
Yes, they are significantly more energy efficient than compressed air systems. Blower-powered air knives use less electricity making them a sustainable drying solution.
Absolutely. Air knife systems can be tailored in size, shape, number of knives, airflow direction, and material to suit specific products and production requirements across various industries.
