FOR AIR AND GAS

Reliably dried air and gases at

low operating costs. Whether
the system is running conti-
nuously or intermittently. Even
at a high air flow rate. That is
the BAUER KOMPRESSOREN
SECCANT'S strong point.

Maintenance-free run-

efficiency

The SECCANT regenerative

corrosion, icing and dirt.

Long running periods and 1

larly economical. 4

To achieve maximum effi-

ciency, the SECCANT is desi-
gned for continuous run-
ning.

Air/gas is constantly availa-

ble. Operational interrup-
tions due to changing filter
cartridges, which are
necessary with standard fil- 2
ter systems, are therefore
eliminated.
When running intermit-
tently, rinsing times are
not needed.

Regeneration merely needs a

partial stream of maximum
5% of the dried medium.

The pressure vessels are

designed and manufactured
according to most national
and international specifica-
tions for acceptance.

Optional: With the help of an

additional filter housing con-
taining activated carbon,
breathing air quality accor-
ding to DIN EN 12021 can be
obtained.
