    Prevent damage to air-powered tools and equipment—these dryers remove water, compressor oil, and particles from your air supply. The dryer and oil filter share the same cartridge to save space and reduce downtime when changing them. No need to mess with desiccant beads. Install them after separators and aftercoolers, which remove the bulk of the moisture.
    When selecting a dryer, keep in mind that the larger the desiccant capacity, the longer they last between cartridge changes.
    Opaque Bowl with Sight Glass—Dryers with an opaque bowl have a sight glass, so you can monitor contents. Their twist-on design allows for fast, clean, tool-free maintenance.
    Clear Bowl—Dryers with a clear bowl are visible from all angles. They have a silica gel desiccant that changes from blue to pink, making it easy to know when to replace the cartridge. Disassembly is required to access the desiccant.
    Air Dryers/Filters/Regulators—Dryers with a regulator monitor and adjust the flow of air.
    Shutoff Valve—Dryers with a shut-off valve stop airflow when not in use to extend the life of the desiccant.
    Styles A-D—Styles A-D have a particle filter before the dryer to remove large particles and protect the desiccant to extend its useful life.
    Style E—Style E filter fine particles in the same cartridge as the dryer and oil filter. Install them vertically in your compressed air line so any water vapor collecting drains properly.

    Use these dryers with filters to protect air-powered tools from water, oil, oil vapor, and particles, then throw them away when you're done. They have a polyurethane housing that has excellent resistance to synthetic compressor lubricants, solvents, acids, and chemicals. The bowl is clear so you can monitor the desiccant. When it becomes saturated, it changes color to indicate it should be replaced. Install in your air line just before the tool you want to protect.

    High-Capacity Refrigerant-Cooled Compressed Air Dryers with Filters for Particle Removal

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Compressed Air Dryers. High-Capacity Refrigerant-Cooled Compressed Air Dryers with Filters for Particle Removal.
    These all-in-one dryers with filters eliminate the need for individual dryers and filters. They cool air through refrigeration to condense water vapor for removal. Because they are noncycling and run continuously, they are best for applications that need constant dry air. A float-operated drain valve opens automatically when the bowl begins to fill. After water removal, a heat exchanger raises the outlet air temperature to prevent condensation on downstream piping. The built-in display lets you monitor and adjust the dew point of the compressed air. Be sure to install in your air line after the compressor and separator.

    Chemical-Resistant Desiccant Compressed Air Dryers with Filters for Oil and Particle Removal

    With a polyurethane bowl and housing, these dryers resist synthetic compressor lubricants, solvents, acids, and other chemicals in your compressed air line. They have a clear bowl so you can monitor contents and the desiccant, which changes color when it needs to be replaced. These dryers use clay desiccant to remove moisture, oil, and particles—no need for a separate filter and dryer. Place them down the line from aftercoolers and separators, which remove most of the water first.

    NPT female dryers make replacing desiccant easy—simply remove the bowl. When you replace the desiccant, service or replace the filter element to extend its life.

    Maintenance-Free Membrane Compressed Air Dryers with Filters for Oil and Particle Removal

    Dry air without hassle—there’s no desiccant to change out with these dryers. They remove vapor from compressed air lines by collecting it in a membrane. A small stream is diverted from the incoming compressed air to release the collected vapor from the membrane. Use them in applications where water vapor can damage tools, such as painting and welding. All come with a built-in oil and particle filter to catch contaminants for a compact design. Install these air dryers after aftercoolers and separators.

    For an uninterrupted supply of clean, dry compressed air, these dryers have two desiccant towers. While desiccant in one tower absorbs moisture, the desiccant in the other is drying out, then they switch automatically. In addition to water, they also remove compressor oil and particles to extend their life and the components downstream from them. Install them after separators and aftercoolers, which remove the bulk of the moisture.
    Style A—Style A are compact and quiet, making them ideal for point-of-use drying on shop floors. A display shows real-time drying data and alerts you for maintenance.
    Style B—Style B have multiple inlets and outlets for mounting versatility—install them horizontally or vertically. They’re often used in industrial automation and manufacturing. Replacement service kits for Style B (sold separately) include desiccant cartridges, O-rings, and washers.
    Style C—Style C stand up to tough outdoor and harsh conditions. Install them inline along your air line for a straight-through connection. Replacement service kits for Style C (sold separately) include filters, check valves, and purge valves.
    Replacement Filter Elements—Replacement filter elements (sold separately) help remove oil and particles and extend equipment life.
