Parker Introduces New Explosion Proof Compressed Air Dryers Series that Lowers Dewpoint, with No Moving Parts and No Electricity

Haverhill, MA. Parker Hannifin Corporation, the global leader in motion and control technologies, has introduced a new, full featured line of Balston IT Series Membrane Air Dryers for applications requiring 35°Fdewpoints and lower with flow rates up to 100 SCFM.

Proven to be the best performing dryers for the most sensitive applications, the IT Series Membrane Air Dryers offer the unique ability to lower an air stream’s dewpoint without electricity or moving parts. Therefore, they may be used in flammable and hazardous environments where explosions or fires are a concern.

The drying system produces a guaranteed dewpoint of 35°F and lower while removing all other compressed air contaminants down to 0.01 micron in size. The system utilizes sophisticated technology to dehydrate the air without the need of electricity. These wall mountable air dryers can be easily configured to fit in most tight areas. Unsurpassed in performance and durability to dehydrate and purify compressed air, the Balston IT Series Dryer significantly outperforms conventional air filtration.

The Dryers are shipped complete with prefilters, auto drains and membrane modules with simple brackets for easy installation.
