Desiccant Compressed Air Dryers


Once aftercoolers and separators have removed the bulk of the water, use these dryers to remove any remaining moisture in your air line. To reuse saturated desiccant, heat it in an oven at its reactivation temperature—you'll know it's dry when the color changes. Install these dryers after an oil filter to protect the desiccant.
Dryers with a clear bowl or a sight glass let you keep an eye on the contents inside. Dryers with a metal bowl are more durable than those with a plastic bowl, and they hold up to vapor better.

Disposable Desiccant Compressed Air Dryers
with Filters for Oil and Particle Removal

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.
