WHY YOU NEED A WILKERSON
REFRIGERATED AIR DRYER
Untreated compressed air will contain contaminants
such as water, compressor oil, rust, chemical conta-
minants, and bacterial growth.
All of these contaminants will cause corrosion and
product contamination.
With proper filtration and a Wilkerson refrigerated air
dryer in use, contaminants will be reduced to a harm-
less level.
The end result will be that the equipment which comes
in contact with dry, treated, compressed air will stay
cleaner, will not corrode, and will last longer.
Rejection rates of your end products will drastically
reduce when using dry, treated air in your plant
manufacturing operation.
