Rohrsystem - Ecodry Compressed Air Dryer

Applications & Use Cases

• Drying compressed air for pneumatic systems in food processing.
• Preventing moisture contamination in food product contact areas.
• Ensuring dry air supply for packaging machinery.
• Protecting sensitive instrumentation and controls from condensation.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 500 to 2000 Nm³/h, depending on the specific model and application requirements.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on standard industrial electrical supplies, commonly 230V or 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz.

Dew point

Commonly achieves pressure dew points of -40°C or lower, essential for critical food processing applications.

Footprint

The physical footprint for an industrial compressed air dryer can vary significantly but typically requires dedicated floor space, often between 1m² and 3m² for mid-range units.

Connection size

Inlet and outlet connections typically range from DN50 to DN100, depending on the air flow capacity.

Maintenance requirements

Requires periodic desiccant replacement or regeneration, and filter element changes, typically on an annual or bi-annual basis depending on usage.
