2AC Floor Mount Compressed Air Dryers 30/60 cfm (50/100 m3/hr)

AEC's AC and ACM CompressedAir Dryers offer compact size withfull performance. The standardmodel reduces dewpoint ofcompressed air supply by 50F(10C), and can achieve adewpoint of 0F (-18C) or as lowas -10F (-12C). The membraneoption maintains -40 (-40C)dewpoint in all environmentswithout a dryer on thecompressor.

Mitsubishi programmable relay controller

Drying temperature of 110 to 300F (40C to 150C)

1/16 DIN PID temperature controller

Dual compressed air filterassembly

ACM models also include a proprietary membrane assembly to further reduce the dewpoint of the process air

ACD10 Series Compressed Air Dryers 10 cfm (17 m3/hr)

The ACD10 compressed air dryeroffers efficient drying performancein an ultra-compact cabinet. The12 (305mm) x 12 x 6 (305mmx 150mm) dryer cabinet fits easilyinto the tightest spaces, and foradded flexibility, it can bemounted on the floor or directly toa hopper. The dryer is so effective,it can reduce the incomingcompressed air source dew-pointby up to 50F (10C) to as low as10F (-25C); -40F (-40C) withthe optional membrane dryer).

Material Handling Installations

Centralized material drying systems remove equipment from the main production room and reduce overall evergy consumption.

Mezzanine mount drying system delivershigh temperature material directly to thefeed throat of the process.

Just-in-time material management system keeps multiple materialsdry and ready for use in the process.

Compact compressed air dryer delivers low dewpoint airto dry material.
