Air Preparation & Dryers

Parker offers a range of air preparation accessories for various applications, including ball and plug valves, check valves, safety blow guns, breather vents and a wide assortment of couplers, connectors, fittings, interchange nipples and flow control valves.

The primary reason for using a compressed air filter is to remove contamination and improve air quality. Parker's design philosophy of air quality, energy efficiency has led to products that provide highest air quality, lowest power consumption, lowest operational differential pressure, lowest CO2 emissions and lowest total cost of ownership. Since the introduction of the first Parker OIL-X range, Parker has continued to develop both the compressed air filter and the standards governing compressed air quality.

Parker's selection of air preparation (FRL) and dryer solutions comprise compressed-air, desiccant, and membrane dryers including regenerative, PSA, heatless, and inline desiccant dryers; low, medium, and large flow dryers; thermal mass, partial stream, low-energy, and refrigeration dryers; as well as associated accessories such as filters, purifiers, and regulators. The company also offers hybrid and gas dryers.

Parker's compressed air pressure regulator offerings include smart high-pressure, medium-to-large flow, and non-cycling compressed air refrigeration dryers; desiccant dryers, heatless desiccant dryers, inline desiccant dryers, and regenerative desiccant dryers; and electronic proportional regulators, as well as accessories such as blow guns, CO2 and programmable air regulating valves.

Parker provides a number of compressed air solutions that combine particulate filter, regulator, and micro-mist lubricator (FRL) capability. These include modular and standard global pneumatic units as well as 2- and 3-pience pipe-nippled units that offer accurate pressure regulation and high moisture-removal efficiency along with proportional oil delivery over a wide range of airflows.

Parker's compressed air filter regulator offerings include a variety of mechanically and software-driven products such as air-prep system air-pressure filter regulators, high-flow filter regulators, and electronic proportional regulators that accommodate various temperatures, pressures, and flowrates and that also come in a wide array of industry-standard sizes.

Soft start, dump and combined soft start/dump valves provide soft start and quick air exhaust for most general air preparation applications in a pneumatic system. Parker provides optimum and uniform valves to secure the start and stop of the machine in accordance with safety rules put in place everywhere in the world.
