REMOVES FAR MORE MOISTURE THAN AN AFTER COOLER
• No electricity required, Plug-n-Play design
• Efficient - very low PSI drop
• Better operator comfort = more productive operators
• ASME sec. VIII div 1 / CRN for all provinces desiccant vessel
• Operates below freezing temperatures
• Portable design - full load lifting eyes / fork pockets
Air Dryer Features
After Cooler & Air Motor Cools incoming air to near ambient temperatures allowing moisture to condense out of the compressed air.
After Cooler Drain Conveniently located near bottom of the air dryer. A must for winterization.
Air Motor Oil Trap Collects used lubricating oil from air motor exhaust preventing it from being dumped on the ground.
Air Motor Regulator, Filter & Oiler Pack Allows full control of air motor speed to achieve most efficient operation in varying ambient conditions. Filters, adjusts pressure, and adds lubricating oil to air motor drive air.
Coalescing Filter High efficiency coalescing filter removes oil from compressed air stream preventing contamination of the desiccant. Includes filter condition gauge to indicate when it is time to change the filter element.
Lined Desiccant Tank Desiccant tank features interior POLYARMOR® thermoplastic coating and has a 10 year limited warranty. Contains desiccant tablets (not included) that absorb most remaining moisture and dissolve to be drained from the bottom of the tank.
Sight Glass For checking minimum desiccant level.
Temperature Gauge Important for achieving most efficient air motor setting and for troubleshooting.
HOW THE AIR DRYER WORKS: Pirate Brand® Dry Land™ Single Tower, Deliquescent, Air Dryers are a skid mounted system which includes an after cooler, a coalescing filter, and a single tower dryer filled with desiccant tablets. Warm compressed air enters the aftercooler where it is cooled to a 10°F to 15°F (5.6°C to 8.3°C) approach to ambient air temperature, water is condensed out during this cooling process. The saturated air and liquid water pass through a coalescing filter where any oil contaminants from the compressor are removed and then proceeds to the inlet of the dryer tank. The water and any solid particles present are separated by gravity and fall to the bottom of the dryer tank. The air moves up through the desiccant tablets which absorb the moisture from the air dropping the relative humidity before it flows through the dryer outlet. The tablets dissolve gradually as they absorb the moisture. The dissolved desiccant and water falls to the bottom of the vessel. The dryer must be drained periodically to remove the accumulated solution. A manual ball valve is installed for this purpose. The blasting contractor is left with cool, clean and dry compressed air for superior blasting quality and zero moisture-related downtime.
WHAT IS DELIQUESCENT DESICCANT?: Deliquesce means to dissolve. A desiccant is a drying agent. So deliquescent desiccant is a drying agent that dissolves.
After Coolers
Pirate Brand® Dry Land™ after coolers are a great solution for the mobile blasting and painting contractor when an air dryer is not within the budget. They cool the compressed air allowing most moisture to condensate out and be drained away. However, they do not further reduce the humidity saturation of the air like an air dryer’s absorbent desiccant tank can.

HOW THE AFTER COOLER WORKS: Pirate Brand® Dry Land™ After Coolers are a skid mounted system which includes an after cooler, a moisture filter, and a coalescing filter. Warm air enters the aftercooler where it is cooled to a 10°F to 15°F (5.6°C to 8.3°C) approach to ambient air temperature, water is condensed out during this cooling process. The saturated air and liquid water pass through a moisture separator where airborne water droplets are separated out. Next the air passes through a coalescing filter where any oil contaminants from the compressor are removed before it flows through the after cooler outlet.
