Extractor/Dryer: How It Works

Extractor/Dryer – How it Works

1. Compressed air containing tiny particles of dirt, dust, oil, rust and moisture, enters the first stage of the La-Man® Extractor/Dryer Filter.


2. A coalescing effect occurs as air passes through a cartridge mesh filter, which captures larger particles and causes moisture to form larger droplets.


3. Air velocity lessens as it enters the extraction chamber allowing particles to collect and moisture to condense on the honeycomb.


4. Particle-laden liquid flows along the bottom and out the drain.


5. Air passes through the second stage wire supported fiber filter cartridge, which captures remaining particles down to 5 microns (smaller microns available).


6. Remaining moisture and contaminants are dried and filtered in the second stage filter.


7. Exhaust air is clean and dry – no dirt, rust, oil, or moisture to disrupt air equipment operation.
