High-Velocity Air for
Bottling & Canning Lines
Moisture stands out as a common yet stubborn problem in bottling. Wet bottles and cans slow production, weaken cardboard, blur inkjet codes, and cause costly rework. Maxum airflow removes water and condensation instantly, keeping the integrity of your line moving with confidence.

In Action
Built for Every point
On the Beverage Line
Moisture and contamination show up at different points depending on the process. Maxum systems are configured to fit the specific equipment where blow-off matters most:
- Tunnel spray washer exit
- Pasteurizer exit
- Conveyor belt drying systems
- Inkjet coding station
- Labeling machine infeed
- Can filler and seamer
- Bottle rinser and air rinser before filling
- Beverage filling equipment infeed
From the bottling process to the canning process, Maxum delivers consistent, reliable blow-off at every stage.

Real Life Success Story - Beer & Soda Packaging
Maxum systems are built for the specific demands of beverage production lines, from high-speed canning operations to bottling and finishing. Here is how we have helped manufacturers solve everyday moisture and blow-off challenges.
Beer & Soda - Eliminating Moisture Before Cartoning
Nozzle Bar® Air Knife systems removed moisture from cans after rinsing, eliminating soggy cardboard and collapsed cases at the distribution level.
Wine - Clean Bottles Before Foil and Label Application
A Nozzle Bar® Air Device installed at two points on the finishing line eliminated moisture before it could cause bubbles or blisters in the foil crown wrap.
Shrink Sleeve - Dry Surfaces for Accurate Inkjet Coding
Maxumizer® Air Knives installed after the steam tunnel delivered clean, dry surfaces for accurate inkjet coding and reliable packaging downstream.

The Questions Beverage Manufacturers Ask Before
Rethinking Their Air
What type of air blow-off system is recommended for high-speed canning lines?
Nozzle Bar® Air Knife systems are the most common solution for high-speed canning lines. Their patented nozzle design delivers consistent, high-velocity airflow across cans moving at line speed, removing moisture before coding, labeling, and cartoning. Contact a Maxum representative to find the right configuration for your line speed and can size.
How does blower-driven air compare to compressed air for pre-label drying on bottling lines?
Blower-driven systems like the Maxumizer® Air Blower deliver high-velocity, high-volume airflow at a fraction of the energy cost of compressed air. Compressed air is expensive to generate, difficult to control across a wide surface, and often inconsistent at line speed. Blower-driven systems are purpose-built for continuous drying applications on bottling and canning production lines, with up to 80% less energy use than compressed air.
Can Maxum systems handle both wet and dry debris removal on the same conveyor?
Yes. Maxum systems are configured to handle both liquid removal and dry debris blow-off on the same conveyor belt drying system. Nozzle Bar® Air Devices and Maxumizer® Air Nozzles can be combined and positioned to address both challenges at different points on the line. Talk to a Maxum rep about configuring a system for your specific conveyor setup.
How do ionized air rinse systems reduce contamination before filling?
Ionized air neutralizes static charges inside empty containers before filling, preventing dust and particulate from clinging to interior surfaces. This is especially important in beverage filling equipment where contamination before fill directly affects product quality. For the right ionized air rinse setup for your filling line, contact a Maxum representative to rethink your air challenges.
Can Maxum systems be retrofitted onto existing bottling and canning equipment?
In most cases, yes. Maxum systems are designed to integrate with existing beverage filling equipment and production line infrastructure without requiring significant modifications. Every line is different, so contact a Maxum representative to review your current setup and identify the best retrofit solution.
How do Maxum systems handle condensation on cold-fill beverage lines?
Cold-fill lines produce heavy condensation on containers as they move from cold storage to ambient temperature. Maxumizer® Air Blowers paired with Nozzle Bar® Air Knife systems remove condensation at the critical points before labeling and coding, keeping surfaces dry regardless of temperature differential. Reach out to a Maxum rep to configure the right system for your cold-fill operation.
Can a single Maxum system cover multiple points on the same production line?
It depends on the line layout, speed, and application. In some cases a single Maxumizer® Air Blower can power multiple Nozzle Bar® Air Devices at different points on the line. In others, dedicated systems at each station deliver better results. Contact a Maxum representative to review your line and find the most efficient configuration.
How does Maxum Air blow-off reduce rework and downtime on beverage packaging lines?
Moisture and debris at the wrong point on a beverage production line causes label failures, blurred inkjet codes, soggy cardboard, and collapsed cases. Addressing those problems at the source with a properly configured blow-off system eliminates the rework and line stoppages they cause downstream. See how Maxum has solved these problems for other manufacturers in our success stories, or contact a representative to talk through your specific challenges.
