Water in air lines rusts cylinders, washes out grease and causes valves to stick. VS Enterprises supplies Mercury moisture separators from Noida to stop that water before it reaches your machines.
Air entering the separator is made to swirl. The heavier water droplets are thrown outward, collect at the bottom of the bowl and are drained away, while drier air continues to the machine.
Main air lines after the compressor or receiver, before machine FRL units, and in humid environments.
Pipe or port size, and air flow if known.
Damage from wet air is insidious and will be discovered only if you're aware of the symptoms, which are numerous, and select the right separator.
Sticky valves, grease washing out of bearings, spitting water from tool exhausts or rust-brown stains in cylinders are all signs of wet air. These issues typically get resolved before causing downtime if the separator is installed after the receiver.
Determine the size of the separator for the line size and air flow; if the separator is too small, water will leak through. Used with the Mercury Auto Drain Valve for plants that produce a lot of condensate; a manual drain will suffice for less heavy plants. Tell us your pipe size and compressor capacity and we can give you an instant recommendation.

A few practical details to help you frame your next engineering project.
No. A separator removes liquid water; a dryer also removes water vapour. Many plants use both.
Yes, if the bowl fills quickly. See the Mercury Auto Drain Valve.
