A dash means we have not published that figure yet — not that it does not exist. Ask and we will send the drawing and the test record for the exact build you need.

WHERE IT IS USED

  • Drying compressed air on rail vehicle braking systems
  • Instrument and control air on industrial plant
  • Any duty where moisture carryover damages downstream equipment

HOW IT IS MADE AND PROVED

Welded to a qualified procedure

Every joint runs to a qualified welding procedure — WPS and PQR — by a welder qualified to run it. Welding is carried out under ISO 3834.

Inspected and tested before it ships

Visual inspection of every weld, dimensional inspection against your drawing, and leak and pressure testing on vessels. The result is recorded against the job number, and the documentation pack ships with the goods.

Traceable to your job

Plate and fittings are booked in against the job, not against a shelf, so what went into your vessel stays traceable to your vessel.

BEFORE WE QUOTE

Send what you have. We can help clarify the remaining details.

  • Your drawing or installation envelope, intended use and quantity.
  • Required material, finish, connections and mounting arrangement.
  • For pressure vessels: working pressure, operating temperature and applicable design or inspection requirements.
  • Target delivery date and the documents your purchasing team needs.

Frequently asked

Can the desiccant be changed in service?
Yes. That is what the hinged clamp lid and retaining mesh are for. The charge can be replaced without breaking the pipework or removing the housing.
What size charge does it hold?
It is built around the charge and airflow you need. Send the flow rate and the dew point you have to achieve and we will size the housing.
Are the flange faces sealed?
Yes. Sealed flange faces are part of the design, because a dryer that leaks is worse than no dryer at all.
