These dryer/filters have a clay desiccant that removes moisture, oil, and particles, so there’s no need to install a separate filter and dryer. Once aftercoolers and separators have removed the bulk of the water, they remove any remaining moisture in your air line. Dryer/filters have a clear bowl or sight glass that allow you to see inside to monitor the contents. When the desiccant becomes saturated, it changes color to indicate that it should be replaced.
Dryer/filters with an aluminum bowl stand up to synthetic compressor lubricants and solvents better than dyers with an acrylic plastic bowl can.
Dryer/filters with a polyurethane bowl have excellent resistance to synthetic compressor lubricants, solvents, acids, and other chemicals.

With a clear polycarbonate bowl that’s visible from all angles and silica gel desiccant that changes from blue to pink, it’s easy to see when it’s time to change the cartridge on these dryer/filters and dryer/filter/regulators. In addition to water, they remove compressor oil and particles, preventing damage to air-powered tools and equipment. Unlike some desiccant dryers, they don't require a filter to protect the desiccant. Both the dryer and filter are in the same cartridge, saving space and reducing downtime when they need to be changed. Install them after aftercoolers and separators, which remove the bulk of the moisture.
Dryer/filters and dryer/filter/regulators with a shut-off valve can stop the flow of air when the units are not in use to extend the life of the desiccant.
Dryer/filter/regulators have a regulator to monitor and adjust the flow of air.

Each of these filter/dryers has two desiccant towers—one that absorbs moisture in the air while the other reactivates saturated desiccant so you have an uninterrupted supply of clean, dry compressed air. In addition to water, these remove compressor oil and particles, preventing damage to air-powered tools and equipment. Unlike some desiccant dryers, they don't require a filter to protect the desiccant. They have an electronic display with an audible alarm that indicates when it’s time to change the filters. Install them after aftercoolers and separators, which remove the bulk of the moisture.

Use these dryer/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 the dryer/filter should be replaced. Install in your air line just before the tool you wish to protect.

These all-in-one dryer/filters eliminate the need for individual dryers, separators, and filters. They cool air through refrigeration to condense water vapor for removal. 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. Install in your air line after the compressor.
