Twin Tower 975 Series
The most widely used and dependable regenerative pressure swing dryer system in the North American railroad industry.
With almost three decades of service the Twin Tower 975 Series has earned its reputation as the most widely used and dependable regenerative pressure swing dryer system in the North American railroad industry. The system is engineered as both a filtration and continuous drying package in one. A high efficiency coalescing filter removes liquids, sub-micron aerosols and solid contaminants. Simultaneously, two towers filled with a highly adsorbent desiccant reduce the relative humidity of the compressed air.
- With dry compressed air, the problems of corrosion and freezing of pneumatic components are eliminated
- Removing compressor oil, that has become varnished due to the heat of compression and the shearing action of the compressor, keeps orifices from clogging, valves from sticking and metal surfaces from pitting
- Solids like rust, scale, dirt and particles from compressor wear are also removed, when left unchecked, and placed in a high-speed air stream, these solids act like a sand blaster and erode components
