Dried compressed air reduces downtime

Thorite has teamed up with Air Dryer manufacturer SMC to provide a complete, two-stage solution to the problems of machinery downtime and production losses caused by moisture in compressed air systems

Moisture in compressed air systems can cause premature plant failure, resulting in machinery downtime and production losses.

The first stage of the remedy is a free on-site Dewpoint Test, which provides a detailed assessment of the compressed air system condition at the point of use.

If the system contains damaging levels of moisture, the second stage of the remedy can be implemented, in the form of a low cost Refrigerated Air Drier from SMC.

Designed to give a dewpoint of between 3 and 10C, the SMC Refrigerated Air Dryers range in capacity from 7CFM to 388 CFM, providing a model to suit every need.

In addition to saving industrial users thousands of pounds in lost production they also ensure compressed air quality to class 4, 5 or 6, necessary to achieve ISO 8573.1.

The free Dewpoint test can be arranged by contacting Kevin Crockford at Thorite.

Thorite is the leading UK supplier of compressed air products and process systems.
