What is a
Blower Dryer?
A blower dryer is an optional component installed at the exit end of
a conveyor dishmachine. It uses high-velocity warm air to rapidly
remove moisture from dishware as it exits the machine, reducing
the need for air-drying or manual drying with cloths (which is not
recommended for sanitation reasons).
Key benefits of a blower dryer include:
• Faster drying: Speeds up ware turnover, especially for glasses and plastics that retain
moisture
• Space savings: Reduces or eliminates the need for multiple drying stations or racks
waiting on the clean tables to dry.
• Improved sanitation: Eliminates cross-contamination risks associated with towel drying
• Better tray and utensil drying: Useful in institutional or healthcare settings where plastic
trays or utensils must be stacked immediately after washing
It is important to note that blower dryers do not guarantee fully dry wares, especially for
heavily nested items or concave dishware. The best results are achieved with high-temp
machines, where the residual heat from the final rinse works in tandem with airflow to
evaporate moisture. Blower dryers may increase energy consumption and add to the unit’s
footprint, so they’re best suited for operations where drying speed is critical — such as
banquet kitchens, healthcare dishrooms, or trayline services.
