Air Dryers
. Main-line pneumatic system dryers are installed close to the compressor, usually between the air receiver and distribution lines. Such a unit dries the whole pneumatic system in a plant and prevents a host of filtration problems throughout the system. Individual dryers may be used directly upstream. Air

Flash Dryers
Flash dryers offer an effective method of removing surface or unbound moisture from a feed product. The technology behind flash drying employs a low residence time within the actual dryer; thus, the unbound moisture is "flashed" off the feed. Flash, pneumatic, ring dryers, flash tube, or cyclone
