Abstract:
An drying system for use in conveyorized assembly lines which drying system includes air propulsion means, a plurality of orifices in a manifold, from which orifices, air, supplied by the air propulsion means to the manifold by way of a conduit is emitted to impinge to-be-dried articles of manufacture, wherein the improvement comprises the following characteristics:said orifices are positioned for lying within such a distance from said to-be-dried articles, said air propulsion means delivers such a volume of air to said conduit, said conduit is of such dimensions to carry such a volume of air, and such orifices defined such a cumulative cross-sectional area of openings into said manifold that air imaging said to-be-dried articles of manufacture creates an impingement pressure at the surface of said to-be-dried articles of not less than approximately 0.5 psig.
