The importance of compressed air is often over looked, but in reality it plays a vital part in most modern manufacturing processes and modern civilization. Although we may not realize it most products we use today could simply not be made without compressed air.

Compressed air accounts for about 10% of the global energy used in industry today. This is why it makes economical sense to incorporate compressed air treatment into your compressed air system as the benefits would outweigh the cost. The cost would be only a small fraction of your total business investment

A dryer is essential in compressed air systems because moisture naturally condenses during compression, and if left untreated, it can cause rust, corrosion, equipment failure, and product contamination. Clean, dry air protects the air system, reduces maintenance cost and increases finished product yields.

There are 2 types of dryers for compressed air. Please click on the link to learn more about them :

A desiccant dryer removes moisture by adsorbing it through specialized materials such as silica gel or activated alumina, making it ideal for applications requiring ultra-dry air—particularly in sensitive environments—thanks to its ability to achieve exceptionally low dew points.

A refrigerated dryer lowers compressed air temperature to approximately 3°C, allowing moisture to condense and be removed—ideal for standard industrial applications requiring moderate dryness, offering a cost-effective and low-maintenance solution
