Our Max Dry is the ultimate in an Air Dryer/Regulator. Perfect for the serious home shop or in a body shop as a workstation dryer. Forget those dryers which claim to get 99% of the water out of the air - the problem is as the air cools off down line in your air hose, the humidity in the air condenses and turns into moisture, creating headaches for you. The Max Dry eliminates the problem - here's how...
The Max Dry is three filters in one - the first stage is a self draining 5 micron filter - this filters out all liquid water, liquid oil, dust dirt, rust and pipe scale down to 5 microns. A micron is one millionth of a meter. That means 5 microns is .0002" - much smaller than the human eye can see.
The second stage is a Coalescing Filter which functions differently from standard particulate filters. Air flows from inside to outside through a coalescing media. Small aerosols come in contact with the fibers in the media. These aerosols unite with other aerosols caught in the fibers. The arerols continue to unite and emerge as a droplet on the outside of the media. The weight of the droplet allows gravity to drain it away. This system filters all oil mist, water mist, and submicronic particles down to .01 microns!
The third stage is what separates this dryer from all the rest! Air enters this stage and passes through a 70 micron filter. This filter evenly disperses the air through the desiccant bed. The desiccant removes the humidity from the air to a temperature of -3° F. This eliminates the possibility of any moisture condensing in your air lines and being pumped through your plasma cutter, sander, air ratchet, grinder, or spray gun.
Best of all, the desiccant is reusable. When the desiccant is dry and ready to absorb moisture, it is a dark blue in color. After the desiccant has absorbed all the water vapor it can, it turns an orangish clear color. Simply pour the desiccant into a baking pan, pop it in the oven at 325°, and bake for approximately one hour. It will turn back to blue to provide you with clean dry air. The Max Dry will eliminate your moisture problem - aren't your air tools and paint projects worth it?
