FAQ

Safe and quiet

Pneumatech PMD dryers work in areas where others don’t: without electricity, in low flow environments, they operate quietly and can be used in corrosion-sensitive areas

No electricity required

Applies for standard unit, making it also suitable for explosion-proof applications

Flexible

Dry compressed air in environments with space restrictions or widely fluctuating temperatures, installations that need flexible orientation of the dryer or areas with high vibrations

Energy efficient

Designed for minimal pressure drop and highest drying efficiency as the air flows undisturbed through the housing

Meet all requirements

Pneumatech’s dryer range includes the P (pressure dew point of 3ºC/40º F and N model range pressure dew point of -20ºC/-5ºF, each in 7 different sizes

Additional energy savings

Optional purge controlling solenoid valves will lower energy cost further

High performing compressed air dryer for your dew point requirements

With its pre-filters, Pneumatech PMD dryers remove oil particles and moisture from compressed air in the most demanding conditions, at the lowest energy cost at two possible dew points. Thanks to their special fiber technology, PMD dryers ensure the lowest pressure drop and purge air loss for the highest possible efficiency, saving you time and money.

From small spaces to environments with fluctuating ambient temperatures, PMD dryers can perform in a wide variety of harsh and critical conditions. PMD dryers also come with different types of membranes, allowing you to choose the exact air treatment you need, and the dew point your operation requires. With an innovative design, PMD dryers provide the quality of air that will increase the reliability and energy efficiency of your production.

Cutaway fiber
Compressed air dryer technology at its best to reach the pressure dew point needed: The thousands hollow fibers with a special inner surface are extremely efficient. The inner coating ensures efficient separation between water vapor and gas molecules of the compressed air. Reliable performance and extraordinary low pressure loss are the results of this membrane dryer technology.

Membrane Dryers

Using a process called “selective permeation,” membrane dryers can help remove that moisture to ensure the required air quality standards are met.
