Solving high humidity issues in Western Canadian air systems is a constant battle for many businesses today. We understand that water in your air lines causes rust, tool failure, and expensive product damage. Our team observes that the air in provinces like Manitoba can get very humid during the summer months. Because we want to keep your air dry, we suggest investing in high-quality moisture separation equipment. We notice that liquid water often collects in the tank and travels through the pipes to your tools. Consequently, your pneumatic cylinders can stick and your paint jobs can be ruined by tiny water droplets. Furthermore, we believe that an integrated drying system is the only way to ensure truly clean air.
Using professional Dryers is the most effective way to remove water vapor before it turns into liquid. This process ensures that your downstream equipment stays dry and works perfectly even on the most humid days. We offer the Best Air Compressor Canada solutions to help you manage your air quality today. Furthermore, our professional technicians can install automatic drains on your tanks to remove water without you ever thinking about it. This allows you to focus on your work instead of constantly purging your air lines by hand. Proper air treatment is the secret to a reliable industrial system that lasts for many years. We prioritize your productivity by keeping the moisture out of your expensive high-pressure air system today.
Our team finds that many shops rely on small water traps that simply cannot handle a high volume of air. We see that these traps fill up quickly and allow the moisture to bypass them and enter your tools. Additionally, we check your aftercoolers to make sure they are dropping the air temperature enough to squeeze out the water. Furthermore, we ensure that your desiccant or refrigerated dryer is sized correctly for your total air flow. This prevents the moisture from sneaking through during periods of high demand in your busy workshop. We prioritize a dry and healthy air supply for every customer who deals with changing Canadian weather. Consequently, your tools will last longer and your maintenance costs will be much lower every single year. We believe that dry air is the foundation of a professional and high-quality manufacturing process today.
Our team uses dew point meters to measure the exact amount of moisture left in your air lines. We take the time to design a multi-stage filtration system that removes water, oil, and dust for you. Furthermore, we suggest placing point-of-use dryers at your most sensitive machines to provide extra protection against moisture. This keeps your CNC machines and robotic tools safe from the damaging effects of internal rust and corrosion. We prioritize your budget by preventing the costly repairs that come with water-damaged pneumatic equipment in the shop. Our team stays busy helping Canadian companies upgrade their air treatment systems to meet modern quality standards. We enjoy providing the technical solutions that allow you to work with confidence in any humidity level. Please Contact Us if you are finding water in your air lines or tools today.
The Difference Between Liquid Water and Water Vapor
Most people do not realize that water exists in two different forms inside their compressed air lines today. We find that liquid water is easy to catch with a simple filter or a water trap. Additionally, water vapor is a gas that stays in the air until the temperature drops further down the line. Furthermore, this vapor will turn into liquid right inside your tools as the air expands and cools down. Consequently, you need a refrigerated or desiccant dryer to remove the vapor before it reaches your equipment. We prioritize the removal of both forms of moisture to give you the highest quality air possible. Our team can explain which drying method is best for your specific industry and location.
Why Automatic Drains are Essential for Every Air Tank
A manual drain valve is only useful if someone remembers to open it several times every single day. We see that busy workers often forget this task, leading to tanks that are half-full of dirty water. Additionally, a full tank reduces the storage capacity of your system and forces the compressor to cycle more. Furthermore, the water in the tank is full of oil and rust that can damage your air dryer. Consequently, installing an automatic drain is one of the smartest upgrades you can make for your air system. We provide high-quality electronic and zero-loss drains that work reliably without wasting any of your expensive air. Our team ensures that your tank stays empty of water and full of air at all times.
Protecting Sensitive Pneumatic Tools from Internal Rust
Rust is the silent killer of pneumatic tools like impact wrenches, grinders, and automated valves in your plant. We find that even a small amount of moisture can cause the internal metal parts to start corroding. Additionally, this rust creates friction that slows down the tool and eventually causes it to seize up completely. Furthermore, the rusty water can wash away the internal grease that the tool needs to stay lubricated. Consequently, you will find yourself replacing expensive tools much more often than you should have to today. We suggest using a combination of a refrigerated dryer and a coalescing filter to stop rust before it starts. Our team can help you build a protection plan for all your valuable air-powered equipment.
FAQ
Why is there water in my air lines even though I have a filter?
A standard filter only removes liquid water, but it cannot stop the water vapor from passing through.
What is the best type of dryer for a cold Canadian workshop?
A desiccant dryer is best for cold areas because it can reach a very low dew point.
How often should I change the moisture-absorbing beads in my dryer?
Most desiccant beads last between two and three years before they need to be replaced for efficiency.
Does a refrigerated dryer use a lot of electricity to run?
No, modern refrigerated dryers are very energy-efficient and only run when they are needed for cooling.
Can I install my own air dryer or do I need a pro?
We recommend professional installation to ensure the plumbing and electrical are done safely and correctly for you.
