Compressed air filtration
Extractor/Dryers efficiently remove moisture and contaminants
to improve and extend the life cycle of tools and equipment. Twostage
filters operate most effectively within 25 ft of the point of
use. They offer a standard 5-μm rating with lower ratings available,
and feature flow ranges of 15 to 2000 scfm and pressure
ratings of up to 250 psi. Differential pressure gauge provides a
visual indication of required maintenance. Weep drain allows for
continual discharge of condensate.
