Blowing Off Expanded Metal Strip

This application is concerned with blowing rinse water from expanded metal material after it has gone through a caustic bath and two rinse tanks. Their customer was complaining about water marks and corrosion on product due to being wet during packing. So, they need to get the metal as dry as possible before packing.

All corrosion and watermarks were removed from product. End customer was happy with result.
