Belanger AirCannon and AirBlade dryers, sold and serviced from Fargo
AirCannon dryers finish the sides of the vehicle, AirBlade strips water off hoods, windshields and roofs, and DMI stocks both dryer lines with parts and service out of Fargo for wash operators across the Tri-State.
Chapter 01
AirCannon: three sizes, an impeller built to last
Belanger's AirCannon dryers come in three sizes: a 3 nozzle 30 horsepower unit, a 5 nozzle 50 horsepower unit and a 7 nozzle 70 horsepower unit, so an operator can size the dryer to the bay or add on to a system already in place. Belanger builds them with energy-efficient impellers that push more air velocity for less power, and by Belanger's own account they last roughly 30% longer than similar dryers on the market.
AirCannon dryers mount to the floor or the wall and work in either an in-bay or a tunnel configuration, so the same product line covers most of the layouts DMI sells wash systems into. Housing comes in red or blue to match branding, and the design is built around drying a car well without a technician having to fight the equipment to service it.

AirBlade: the wall of air for hoods, windshields and roofs
Water left on a hood or a windshield is the water a customer actually sees, sitting right in front of their face when they pull out. Belanger built the AirBlade dryer specifically to solve that: twin 10 horsepower producers push air through a long, narrow outlet, 2 and a half inches by 35 inches, creating what Belanger calls a wall of air that strips water off horizontal surfaces.
AirBlade works alongside AirCannon rather than replacing it. AirCannon handles the sides of the vehicle and clears water out of nooks and crannies, AirBlade covers the hood, windshield and roof, and together Belanger builds them as one complete vehicle drying system. The line includes the AirBlade Select at 40 horsepower, freestanding, for operators who want the wall-of-air approach on its own.
Chapter 03
Maintenance that doesn't mean pulling a motor
Belanger designed the AirCannon so nozzles and housings slip on and off while the motor stays in place on the frame, which means an operator doesn't need to handle a heavy motor just to adjust a nozzle or clear a jam. Height is adjustable to match structural requirements, and an optional silencer kit is available for a quieter bay.
DMI stocks parts for both the AirCannon and AirBlade lines in the Fargo warehouse and services dryers on the same preventative maintenance visits we run for the rest of a wash system, so a dryer that's starting to lose power gets caught before it's the reason customers stop coming back.
