Overview
The CamAir® DAD-PRO™ Desiccant Air Drying System provides worry free air filtration for top-quality paint jobs. Air enters the 2-stage filtration package where it is purged of water, oil and oil aerosols. Once cleaned, the air enters the desiccant tank to further remove any remaining water vapor.
- First stage filter removes oil, water and dirt down to 5 microns
- Second stage coalescer removes oil vapors and dirt particles down to .01 microns
- Desiccant tank removes water vapor and humidity down to a dew point of 40° F
- Bagged desiccant for ease of maintenance

Desiccant Air Dryers
Water is a precious commodity in many parts of the world, but when it comes to industrial processes and applications, moisture is rarely welcome. Water can wreak havoc on machinery, compromise product quality, and increase maintenance costs. Desiccant air dryers combat this problem by removing moisture from compressed air through adsorption.
What is a Desiccant Air Dryer?
A desiccant air dryer is a specific type of industrial air dryer designed to remove moisture from compressed air via adsorption. It uses desiccants — adsorbent materials with a high affinity for water.
You’ve probably seen desiccants when opening a box containing new clothing, electronics, pharmaceuticals, or perishable foods. Desiccants are the little packets labeled “Do Not Eat.” They are filled with silica gel, activated alumina, or other bead-like materials that attract water molecules to their surfaces, absorbing moisture from the air. Benefits include:
- Dry, compressed air. Desiccant air dryers can produce compressed air with dew points as low as -40°C (-40°F). This is essential for industries where moisture can damage products or processes.
- Reduced maintenance costs. Desiccant air dryers require very little maintenance. The desiccant material typically lasts for several years before it needs to be replaced.
- Extended shelf life. Dry, compressed air helps to extend the shelf life of everything from packaged beef jerky to pneumatic tools and equipment, eliminating corrosion, wear, and spoilage.
- Improved product quality. Dry, compressed air is essential for many manufacturing processes. Moisture can cause defects in products, such as voids in castings or cracks in welds.
How a Desiccant Air Dryer Works
The desiccant air dryer works by passing compressed air through the desiccant material, which extracts moisture. Once the desiccant is saturated with water, it is regenerated by heating it to a high temperature. This causes the moisture to dissipate and the desiccant to regain its drying ability. Many industrial applications rely on a twin-tower system to ensure a continuous drying cycle.
Desiccant air dryers are commonly used in industries where maintaining low moisture levels in compressed air is critical, including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, oil and gas, and electronics. Key applications include:
- Manufacturing. Industries like food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and electronics require moisture-free compressed air to maintain product quality and adhere to stringent manufacturing standards.
- Medical. Hospitals and healthcare facilities use desiccant air dryers to provide clean, dry air for critical medical equipment and instruments.
- Painting and Finishing. The automotive and painting industries rely on dry air to prevent imperfections in paint finishes and coatings.
- Aerospace. In the aerospace sector, desiccant air dryers ensure the compressed air used in aircraft maintenance and assembly is free from moisture, which can cause corrosion and other issues.
- Agriculture. Farmers use desiccant air dryers for grain drying and storage to prevent mold and spoilage.
