Arrow Pneumatics Air Drying Systems & Parts

In many industrial applications that use compressed air, it has to be properly prepared – cleaned from dirt, dried, and even filled with lubricant in some cases. It's crucial in paint shops, food and beverage industry, medicine, aerospace industry, and other spheres. The idea of lubing air may sound ridiculous to those who have never worked with pneumatic tools, but in fact, many of them need a certain amount of lubricant supplied together with compressed air. Founded more than a century ago, Arrow Pneumatics Inc. positions itself as the only North-American manufacturer offering a complete line of air preparation products.

The company is located in Illinois and produces air filters, dryers, regulators, and multipurpose modular assemblies, along with related fittings and accessories. When getting compressed, air changes its volume several times, while the amounts of dirt, dust, water, and vapors remain the same, so their concentration grows. Depending on relative humidity, ambient temperature, and nominal capacity, a compressed air system can accumulate several gallons of water per eight hours of work, which may lead to paint defects, rust, air line freezing, reduced air flow, and other issues. The company develops effective solutions to avoid all these problems.

According to common schemes developed by the enterprise, an Arrow Pneumatics air dryer is most effective in a modular system including four in-line filters that have different filtration ability, desiccant dryer, regulator, and gauge. The structure can be different and also include a lubricator or other modules, and there may be several assemblies of this kind in a workshop depending on the application. Arrow Pneumatics compressed air dryers and filters employ highly effective and reliable filtering media consisting of sintered bronze. Made in-house according to special technology, such filters have some advantages if compared to those using polypropylene; they can withstand higher flows and unknown synthetic oils. Thanks to a micro-finished brass seat and other features, Arrow Pneumatics regulators provide stable pressure, virtually without creep. Check out our online catalog and choose the equipment you need.
