From The Kahn Companies
Many manufacturers processes require a constant supply of compressed air. The air may be used for many different reasons-for example the actuation and control of pneumatic valves, cylinders and controllers; operation of process machinery or tooling; as a transport medium for bulk materials; or as a purge gas. The compressed air supply will contain some moisture which, if uncontrolled, could potentially cause damage to the process, pneumatic controls, tooling, finished product, or indeed the components of the air distribution system itself.
