A apparatus for drying a substrate includes a vacuum manifold positioned adjacent to an edge wheel. The edge wheel includes an edge wheel groove for receiving a peripheral edge of a substrate, and the edge wheel is capable of rotating the substrate at a desired set velocity. The vacuum manifold includes a proximity end having one or more vacuum ports defined therein. The proximity end is positioned at least partially within the edge wheel groove, and using supplied vacuum removes fluids that accumulate in the edge wheel groove and prevents re-deposit of trapped fluids around the peripheral edge of the substrate.
