Walmec North America’s AMD-035 membrane dryer uses a four-stage prefiltration system designed for applications that require clean, dry compressed air, such as waterborne paints. The dryer has a flow rating of 35 scfm and maximum working pressure of 150 psi.
The first- and second-stage filters remove moisture, liquids, dust, rust, scale and other contaminants to 5 microns. An automatic float drain under the second-stage filter opens and expels collected liquids whenever an ounce or more is present. The third and fourth stages remove any remaining particles down to 0.01 microns and absorb any remaining moisture or oil vapors.
The dryer lowers the humidity level by venting it into the surrounding atmosphere. A flexible input hose assembly eliminates the hazards of damage from vibrations in piped compressed air systems and allows the dryer itself to be installed in any position.
