Moisture Separators / Auto Drains

Most production processes demand pure compressed air (no moisture, no particles, no oil) - for example: in the pharmaceutical, food and beverage industries; pneumatic instrumentation; assembly of electronic components, handling of hygroscopic materials or outdoor installations with freezing temperatures.

Generally, compressed air carries some moisture. Moisture separators fitted with the after-coolers separate a good amount of moisture around 80 to 90% with a good moisture trap. The rest of the condensate accompanies the compressed air as a mist into the air receiver. The velocity of the air is decreased considerably in the receiver and most of the residual condensate will settle on the receiver wall and run down to the bottom drain of the receiver.

Remaining moisture carried over from the receiver can cause considerable damage to the compressed air system and spoil the end products. To avoid this problem, you need pure compressed air which can be achieved by dryers and compressed air filters

Automatic drain trap
The automatic drain can be installed at the lowest point of a compressed airnet, (e.g. at the bottom of a receiver or cyclone separator etc.). Maintenance is minimal.

It has been a practice to install the drain traps at the points where the moisture collection is none. This just adds to undesirable loss of air during blowing leading to energy losses. When the drains get clogged due to the sludge they become ineffective and the moisture is then carried through the system.

We have come with the full flow automatic drain trap where only water is removed from the system. No compressed air is blown out along with it. Provision has been made to remove the sludge deposited at the bottom of the drain trap.
