A desiccant dryer uses a desiccant material, like silica or activated charcoal, to create moisture-free compressed air. The desiccant attracts and absorbs water molecules to keep the air dry. We carry the following desiccant dryer products:
Industries ranging from automotive and electronics to food and pharmaceuticals rely on compressed air systems to power equipment and devices. A single industrial air compressor would be insufficient to fulfill the needs of such diverse applications, however, which is why there are multiple types available on the market. Making the optimal choice for your business will boost efficiency, productivity, reliability, and profitability in your operations while reducing maintenance and repair requirements.

General Applications of Industrial & Commercial Air Compressors
Industrial and commercial air compressors fulfill the compressed air needs for myriad applications.
Industrial Settings
Market sectors that often rely on large industrial air compressors include:
Commercial Settings
Commercial air compressors are ideal for such industries as:
Air compressors power numerous applications in these markets. For example, compressed air is useful for running everything from healthcare devices like dental drills and nebulizers to heavy-duty printing presses and pneumatic manufacturing or packaging machinery. Companies can use compressed air to maintain temperatures, paint or clean surfaces, inflate tires, convey materials, blend ingredients, and much more.
We’ll delve into the various compressor types so you can better understand their unique qualities and how they fit into the above industrial and commercial operations.
Reciprocating Compressors
are especially common in small- to medium-sized facilities that require high-pressure output. They get their name from the reciprocating piston that moves the air into the compression chamber. They’re available in single-piston or dual-piston models.
Because the parts inside the compressor rub together to generate heat and friction during operation, reciprocating compressors are louder than other types of compressors. For this reason, they may be unsuitable in settings where it’s vital that people can communicate clearly.
Rotary Screw, Scroll, & Vane Compressors
can provide a high volume of compressed air all day long. Variable speed motors allow operators to control airflow on demand, which helps reduce energy consumption. These compressors are quiet and able to meet constant, heavy compressed air demands. They can also adapt to precision tasks like sandblasting and powder coating.
Variable Speed Compressors
Rotary compressors with a (VSD) are versatile and efficient because they can adapt to facilities with a fluctuating need for compressed air. Examples of these settings include 24/7 operations where demand changes from shift to shift and seasonal processes that require more air during certain months. VSD compressors save money over the long run by reducing energy consumption because they run exponentially in the unloaded condition.
These compressors are available in single-stage and two-stage models, with the two-stage versions being slightly more efficient because the air is compressed in two stages. The air is compressed to 30 psig in the first stage and cooled before being compressed to operating pressure. Compare the efficiencies of single-stage and two-stage VSD compressors:
- 100 horsepower single-stage delivers 436 CFM at 125 psig
- 100 horsepower two-stage delivers 513 CFM at 125 psig
Oil-Free Compressors
don’t use oil, so they eliminate oil carryover in the compressed airflow. When combined with a variable speed drive, an oil-free compressor becomes one of the most environmentally friendly industrial air compressors available. They produce superior air quality for applications that depend on purity, such as food and beverage processing.
Accessories
To keep your commercial air compressors running efficiently, you can stock a variety of . At ÃÀ¸ß÷ÓéÀÖ³Ç, we carry a wide range of lubricants, replacement parts, filters, refrigerated air dryers, oil/water separators, evacuator drain valves, motors, VF drives, and other accessories to optimize your compressor’s performance.
Our air compressors and repair parts are genuine Gardner Denver products, which have been trusted for over 50 years to meet the world’s compressed air demands.
Refrigerated Air Dryers
Valued for their simple construction and low maintenance requirements, remove moisture from the compressor’s atmospheric air intake. This air contains water vapor that can damage downstream equipment. Refrigerated air dryers eliminate this risk by lowering the temperature that condenses the water vapor and separating the water from the air.
There are two types of refrigerated air dryers: non-cycling and cycling. The non-cycling models run constantly regardless of how much air is compressed or how high the moisture content is, which makes them better suited for applications that require a steady supply of compressed air. Cycling models will turn on and off according to demand. These are typically more expensive than their non-cycling counterparts, but they help save money in the long run by reducing energy expenditure.
Desiccant & Tower Dryers
- . The pressure drop is less than 5 psi at the rated flow, and the dryer functions at standard voltages.
- . Our wall mount desiccant air dryers are available in different sizes that allow for an inlet flow capacity ranging from 7 to 50 scfm at -40 ºF and 5 to 40 scfm at -70 ºF. These models protect moisture-sensitive equipment in situations needing low-pressure dew points.
- . These Hankison® dryers feature twin towers containing superior-grade activated alumina. They’re available with different control systems to meet the needs of specific applications.
- . These desiccant dryers offer 100% efficiency to help reduce your energy costs.
- . For low-flow and point-of-use applications, the versatile and eco-friendly HMD and RHD series air dryers utilize the most advanced membrane technology to dry compressed air.
Blowers & Vacuum Pumps
We carry Gardner Denver positive displacement . These units are the result of cutting-edge technology informed by real-life experience, producing enhanced efficiency and performance for nearly any application.
