Clean Air Treatment
Air Dryers
Compressed air contains water vapor and as it travels through compressed air piping, it cools and the vapor condenses into liquid condensate. This condensate increases maintenance requirements and affects product quality. Kaeser offers a wide range of efficient compressed air dryers for your compressed air system. Get the clean air treatment your system deserves!
SecotecTM Cycling Refrigerated Air Dryers
20-3070 CFM Pressure Dewpoint to 38°F
KAESER Secotec dryers feature reliable, energy saving cycling control. They operate the refrigerant compressor only when necessary by using a thermal storage medium. The refrigerant compressor cools the medium to a predetermined temperature and then cuts off, allowing the medium to cool the air and condense the water vapor.
Important features and advantages:
- Highly efficient Secotec® cycling control with high thermal storage capacity
- Minimal pressure drop and no prefilter required
- Highly effective, stainless steel condensate separator
- No-loss electronic condensate drain removes condensate
- Quick access to all components for easy, low-cost maintenance
- Durable, industrial-quality control cabinet
- Easy to read and reliable control panel
- Elevated condenser avoids pickup of dust and debris from the floor

KAD Regenerative Desiccant Dryers
7 to 50 CFM Wall-Mounted (KADW Series)
40 to 5400 CFM Free Standing (KAD Series)
Pressure Dewpoint to -100°F
KAD dryers are ideally suited for moisture sensitive applications such as electronics and pharmaceutical manufacturing, food processing and brewing.
Kaeser Adsorptive Desiccant dryers (KAD Series) employ a heatless regenerative design to produce pressure dew points as low as -100°F. Solid-state controls with adjustable cycle timers allow KAD Series dryers to be easily adapted to user requirements. The optional purge saver control dramatically increases efficiency at reduced flows, and includes active tower lights and a switching failure alarm. Another great air treatment option!
Kaeser Adsorptive Desiccant Wall-mounted dryers (KADW Series) are fully enclosed in a ready-to-install cabinet, and feature a control panel on the exterior for easy monitoring. The KADW dryer is completely assembled, piped and wired, fully charged with desiccant. Units can be mounted virtually anywhere to conserve floor space. Filtration packages are also available.

KED Heated Purge Dryers
300-3200 CFM
Pressure Dewpoint to -40°F
KAESER KED Series heated purge air dryers use an external heater to reduce purge air usage for efficiency and less compressed air waste. Solid state logic accurately controls inlet and purge valves which direct wet compressed air to the regenerated tower, and heated purge air to the tower in need of regeneration. The process of adsorption and desorption can be repeated several thousand times before the desiccant must be replaced.
Advantages:
- Excellent energy savings by using only 7% purge air for regeneration
- Reliable controls and instrumentation meet NEMA 4 standards
- Color change moisture indicator signals elevated dew point
- ASME pressure relief valve
- Optional Energy Management Controls to match energy use to compressed air demand

KBD Blower Purge Dryers
500-4300 CFM
Pressure Dewpoint to -40°F
KAESER KBD Series externally heat-regenerative blower purge desiccant dryers produce dew points as low as -40°F. Twin desiccant beds of activated alumina alternate between drying and regenerating, with regeneration being accomplished with heated ambient air at just above atmospheric pressure. The heated ambient air readily drives adsorbed moisture off of the desiccant preparing the it for another adsorption cycle. The moisture-laden regeneration air exhausts to atmosphere during the regeneration process. KBD dryers can regenerate with little (about 1%) or no process (purge) air loss.
Solid state logic accurately controls inlet and purge valves which direct wet compressed air to the regenerated tower, and heated ambient air to the tower in need of regeneration. The process of adsorption and desorption can be repeated several thousand times before the desiccant must be replaced.
Advantages:
- Outstanding energy savings by heating atmospheric air for regeneration and using no purge air
- Reliable controls and instrumentation meet NEMA 4 standards
- Color change moisture indicator signals elevated dew point
- ASME pressure relief valve
- Optional Energy Management Controls to match energy use to compressed air demand

Compressed Air Filtration
Kaeser compressed air filters and activated carbon adsorbers provide your systems and processes with reliable, highly efficient protection against dust, aerosols, and oil vapors – for all purity classes as per ISO 8573-1. They are perfectly compatible with Kaeser’s range of compressors and other compressed air treatment options. Kaeser compressed air filters are available with a pressure of 232 psig, while high pressure filters range up to 650 psig; filters are also available in a silicon-free version, such as for use in painting processes.
20-21,250 CFM
Up to 900 PSIG
On average, ambient air contains about 190 million particles of dirt, hydrocarbons, viruses and bacteria per cubic foot. The majority of these contaminants enter the compressor and may still be present in the resulting compressed air. If the air is not properly cleaned, these contaminants can damage pneumatic machinery and air tools, or even wind up in the end product.
Kaeser offers a complete line of filters including: filtered separators, particulate filters, oil removal filters, extra fine oil removal filters and vapor adsorbers. Features Include:
- Multi-layer, matrix-blended fiber media ensures reliable and efficient particle retention
- Efficient operation even under low use conditions (down to 5% of rated flow capacity)
- Filter element seals to housing
- Durable, anti-corrosive housing with epoxy powder coating inside and out
- Element supported by oil and acid resistant stainless steel orifice tubes
- Standard differential pressure gauge on most models
- Internal automatic drains standard up to 780 CFM oil removal filters and 250 CFM moisture separators
