Product Features
A-DRY desiccant adsorption compressed air dryers
Desiccant adsorption compressed air dryer A-DRY has been designed to separate water moisture from compressed air thus reducing the dew point in the system. A-DRY is a range of products offering our customers a wide array of dried air solutions with volumetric flow rates ranging from 6 Nm3/h to 200 Nm3/h. An innovative new design of desiccant adsorption dryer A-DRY, developed with consideration of our customers, enables fast and reliable installation, use and servicing. Installation is simple with our ready to use controller while minimising the number of parts and motions required for assembly and disassembly makes servicing fast and reliable.
Adsorption compressed air dryers with activated carbon tower A-DRY TAC
Adsorption compressed air dryers with activated carbon tower A-DRY 6-200 TAC are designed to achieve low pressure dew point as well as to remove oil vapours and odours from the compressed air. A-DRY is a range of products offering our customers a wide array of dried air solutions with volumetric flow rates ranging from 6 Nm3/h to 200 Nm3/h. An innovative design of A-DRY TAC adsorption driers, developed with consideration of our customers, enables fast and reliable installation, use and servicing. Installation is simple with our ready to use controller while minimising the number of parts and motions required for assembly and disassembly makes servicing fast and reliable. A-DRY TAC has integrated activated carbon tower, which is developed for separating oil vapours from compressed air (dry type separation).
X-DRY series
X-DRY 300-1050 modular adsorption dryers are designed for continuous separation of water vapour from compressed air thus reducing dew point. Operation of dryer requires two columns operated alternately. Adsorption takes place under pressure in first column while second column regenerates with a portion of already dried compressed air at ambient pressure. A dryer consists of two columns, filled with desiccant beads, controller with LCD display, valves, manometers, support construction and suitable filter housings with the required filter element. Proven robust design enables efficient and reliable operation, fast installation and simple maintenance.
B-DRY series - Heatless regeneration adsorption dryers
B-DRY adsorption dryers are designed for continuous separation of water vapour from the compressed air thus reducing the pressure dew point. B-DRY series dryer consists of two columns, filled with desiccant beds, controller with LCD display, valves, manometers, support construction and suitable filter housings with the required filter element. Adsorption takes place under pressure in the first column while the second column regenerates with a portion of already dried compressed air at ambient pressure. When the first column is saturated to a certain level column switch-over is carried out and the process of adsorption continues in the second column without any drop of pressure at the outlet of the dryer. Regeneration of saturated desiccant is possible because a small portion of already dry compressed air is decompressed and when expanded it becomes extremely dry.
B-DRY TAC heatless regeneration adsorption dryers with activated carbon tower
B-DRY TAC heatless regenerative adsorption dryers have been designed for drying and purifying compressed air for applications requiring oil-free compressed air (oil class 0/1 according to ISO 8573-1 ). The operation of the dryer requires two columns operating alternately. The adsorption takes place under pressure in the first column while the second column is regenerated with a portion of compressed air already dried at ambient pressure. The dryers consist of an upper and lower control block, a controller with digital display and two columns filled with adsorbent. The third column is filled with a load of activated carbon which reduces the concentration of oil mist and odor to an acceptable level for your application. Flow distributors located at each end of the columns allow efficient distribution of air flow and optimal performance. The proven rugged design enables efficient and reliable operation, quick installation and simple maintenance.
F-DRY series
F-DRY adsorption dryers are designed for continuous separation of water vapour from the compressed air thus reducing pressure dew point. F-DRY series dryer consists of two columns, filled with desiccant beds, controller with LCD display, valves, manometers, support construction and suitable filter housings with the required filter element. Adsorption takes place under pressure in the first column while the second column regenerates with a portion of already dried compressed air at ambient pressure. When the first column is saturated to a certain level column switch-over is carried out and the process of adsorption continues in the second column without any drop of pressure at the outlet of the dryer. Regeneration of saturated desiccant is possible because a small portion of already dry compressed air is decompressed and when expanded it becomes extremely dry.
PICO-DRY Heatless regenerated adsorption dryer
PICO-DRY adsorption dryers are intended for separation of water vapour from compressed air thus reducing dew point. Those dryers were specifically designed for piston compressors with relatively small duty load (frequent start and stop). Adsorption takes place under pressure in the lower column. When the compressor stops the adsorption column is depressurised and the dry air from the buffer vessel is slowly expanded and used for regeneration. Dryer is equipped with aftercooler as well as with filter making sure that liquid water, oil and other large contaminants will not enter adsorption vessel. Springs in the columns make sure that the desiccant beads will not move during operation. Proven robust design enables efficient and reliable operation, fast installation and simple maintenance.
