The latest compressed air treatment solution from Parker domnick hunter is set to extend the life of existing plant equipment, providing significant energy savings and more compressed air for applications. Parker domnick hunter recently showcased its new PNEUDRI MX upgrade packages at the Hannover Messe International exhibition in Germany. At the heart of any compressed air treatment solution is the dryer, its purpose is to remove water vapour, stop condensation, corrosion and in the case of adsorption dryers, inhibit the growth of micro-organisms. Once installed, traditional compressed air dryers are not upgradable and as technology advances, they get left behind.
The Parker domnick hunter PNEUDRI MX range of heatless adsorption dryers is a modular drying system that can not only be expanded as compressed air demands increase, but now they can also be upgraded to ensure low energy consumption and reduced CO2 emissions. Parker domnick hunter upgrade system, known as the PNEUDRI MXLE ADVANTAGE, aims to extend the life of the customers existing capital equipment; lower operating costs and provides more compressed air for their applications. PNEUDRI MXLE ADVANTAGE is also available as a factory fit option for new dryers.
