PROSFD - Low Flow Desiccant Dryers

With flow rates from 4 – 35 SCFM, our range of lower flow PROSFD models provide a proven solution for compressed air drying and are ideal for smaller, point of use applications.

Designed to deliver optimum performance in line with the highest standards of air purity, as specified in ISO 8573-1: 2010, PROSFD models PD004 to PD035 are supplied as standard with a XA grade 0.01 micron coalescing filter.

With a compact design and multi-ported manifold, the dryer can be installed vertically and horizontally, providing a flexible solution to your compressed air drying needs. This highly reliable, high efficiency range of dryers features built-in energy management, allowing the purge flow to be isolated during periods of low demand for efficient use of compressed air. Whatever your application requirement, PROSFD delivers a compressed air drying solution you can trust.
