The Problem

Compressed air is a commonly used power source. Over the years it became a crucial part of a wide range in industrial processes. However, compressed air after compression is not clean and contains impurities like water, oil, dirt, wear particles and so on. This mixture creates a form of condensate which damages downstream equipment like air tools, pneumatic cylinders and other pneumatic equipments. It also causes high product rejects, high maintenance and costly air leaks in compressed air systems. The use of highly efficient compressed air filters and condensate drains will remove a lot of these impurities and can eliminate most of the problems downstream.

For many applications this is not enough. These applications need an even higher level of compressed air quality. AFE’s compressed air adsorption dryers desiccant dryers will provide this level of air quality at the point where the quality is needed without investing a large amount in centralized purification systems which are often not needed because only certain areas of the production process need that high quality air.
