Aluminum foil is washed after an anodizing process and was dried using radiant heaters. This left moisture behind which produced staining when rolled onto a reel. Slowing the process down cured the problem but with an obvious loss in production.

   
 

Air knives were fitted on either side of the foil prior to the radiant heaters to remove 98% of the water. The radiant heaters “flash off” any remaining moisture.
