Air Treatment: Compressed Air Filters



Compressed air filters are widely used in industry sphere & are also referred as line filters. These air filters are used to eradicate air, oil, water & other contaminates from compressed air after compression has taken place.

Unwanted particles traveling through compressed air stream can be removed in different ways. A pneumatically operated machine suffers major damage due to unwanted dirt particles, water, oil or moisture. These contamination's’ of the air stream can cause severe performance abjection & increase the maintenance cost. To cut down the costs & damages compressed air filters are used to increase the productivity & performance.

There are different types of Air filters. These filters are designed in a way to remove all contaminations from air supply. 3 Micron per filters are exclusively used to remove solid particles. 1 & 0.01 Micron coalescing filters is used as oil separators. Activated carbon filters are used to eliminate oil vapors & odors. These filters are used in combination with other instruments.


Filtering process always results in a pressure drop & energy is lost in air system. Finer filters also cause greater pressure drop & gets blocked quickly. Because of these results filters need to be changed frequently resulting in higher costs. Accordingly, filters must be shaped in such a way that they are able to handle the normal flow & have a greater capacity to manage pressure drop due to a degree of blockage.

Refrigeration Air Dryer- Introduction & Application

Ideal for general purpose, refrigeration dryers help to eliminate moisture by reducing the air temperature. Air dryer is the device which consists of a heat transfer system, moisture purging system & refrigeration system.


The DRY series refrigeration dryers are compact & have an easy installation service. These air dryers offer drying capacity of 12 to 740 CFM of air and is supplied complete with separator and automatic condensate discharge. Refrigeration dryers are only contrived to remove water vapor and entail the use of coalescing filters to work competently.


Refrigeration air dryers are judged by there effective performance to separate condensate. Before buying air dryers, the major survey will give an idea of required air supply & desired pressure dew point for particular operation. A different combination of flow rate, pressure, dew point control & connection are also available for diverse application.


These dryers help to cool the compressed air, whereby a large amount is condensed & separated. To avoid condensation on the outside of the system, the compressed air is reheated to room temperature. The coolant system helps cooling the compressed air which thereby helps reducing the energy consumption of the refrigeration dryer.


New digital electronic system helps to control the main dryer operation parameters. Customized dryers for higher capacity are also made on request. Four different types of refrigeration dryers are:-


Cycling Refrigerated Air Dryers

High Inlet Temperature

Non-cycling Refrigerated Dryer

Desiccant Dryers


Werther has come up with 17 different combination's of refrigeration dryers for different application. They are known for there efficient performance with easy installation services & uses. Browse through our Refrigeration Air Dryer section and choose the one which suits your requirement.

Compressed Air Solution: Some General Information

Our nations industry have opted for using better & improved equipments to give better results & eliminate energy wastage.


Compressed Air Solution is there best choice for energy source. These energy sources are relatively easy to store, non-flammable & highly powerful. This energy can be used to produce high speed with air actuators or air tools & is enormously versatile in various ways it is used. Compressed air is used everywhere. As these compressed air are safe, it can be carried anywhere with an appropriate air tools.


Compressed Air can perform there work with high speed because when compressed the air gets transform from one energy to other form of energy. This energy is stored & used later. This compressed air is now in imbalanced state & is in high pressure inside compressor receivers.


As our environment has always kept our nature in balance, these imbalances are not accepted by her. So to balance the nature, the compressed air leaves the area with speed of sound, i.e. from an air tank to the required tool, & gets back to its normal atmospheric temperature.


By calculating this flow of air & directing it into air tools, work can be pull out from this compressed air energy as it decompresses back to atmospheric levels.


Compressed air solution can be used around application which involves manufacturing products which are flammable or explosive. Compressed air solutions are always performed by the persons with formal training.


If you are looking for a high force for your application, then the likely pick should be compressed air components as they are less expensive.


Less expensive & more energy is always why not?, for high scale operation.
