Compressed air drying is an essential part of the air treatment process. Compressed air contains water, dirt, wear particles, bacteria and even degraded lubricating oil. All these impurities mix to form an abrasive sludge. This sludge is often acidic and accelerates the wear and tear of tools, pneumatic machinery, block valves and orifices. This results in costly air leaks and high maintenance. It also corrodes pipes and can bring the production process to a standstill. Only compressed air that is clean and dry will ensure the reliable working of compressed air systems and maximum energy savings.
ELGi offers a reliable solution through ELGi Airmate Refrigerant Air Dryers. These dryers ensure a longer life of compressed air systems through efficient removal of the condensate and contaminants.

Most compressor manufacturers do not use aftercoolers on their piston type compressors. Therefore, compressed air exits the compressor at about 240 F temperature.

View ProductsMoisture in your compressed air can lead to a variety of issues that impact your operations. Pay attention to these telltale signs:
Rust and Corrosion: If you notice rust or corrosion forming inside your piping or on your equipment, it's a clear indication that moisture is present in your compressed air. This can weaken your system and lead to costly repairs.
Water in Air Tools: When water collects in your air tools, it disrupts their lubrication and performance. You might observe sputtering, reduced power, or premature wear on your tools.
Inconsistent Product Quality: In industries like painting or food processing, moisture can contaminate your products. If you see inconsistent finishes, discoloration, or other quality issues, moisture is likely the culprit.
Increased Maintenance: A significant increase in maintenance frequency or costs is often a sign of moisture-related damage. You might find yourself repairing leaks, replacing parts, or cleaning your system more often than usual.
Decreased Energy Efficiency: If your compressors are working harder to maintain pressure, it could be due to increased pressure drop caused by moisture. This translates to higher energy bills and reduced system efficiency. If you're noticing any of these issues, it's time to consider a compressed air dryer. Implementing a high-quality dryer will protect your equipment, improve your processes, and save you money in the long run.
