💨 AeroX AirID-60 Heatless Desiccant Air Dryer

Precision Ultra-Dry Air for Mid-Size Systems

When airflow is moderate but performance expectations are high, moisture control becomes critical.

The AeroX AirID-60 is engineered to deliver 60 CFM of ultra-dry compressed air with a pressure dew point down to -68°F, making it the ideal solution for:

• RS60g systems
• LP40 compressor platforms
• Mid-size dry ice blasting systems
• Single-blaster operations
• Humid and high-temperature regions
• Precision industrial air supply

If you’re running consistent blasting loads or operating in high humidity environments, the AirID-60 becomes the reliability layer your system depends on.

❄ Why Desiccant Drying Is Critical

Refrigerated dryers remove bulk moisture.
Desiccant dryers remove water vapor at the molecular level.

Even at 60 CFM, moisture in compressed air can:

• Increase saturation risk
• Cause freeze-ups in hoses and guns
• Create inconsistent blasting performance
• Shorten equipment life

A refrigerated dryer alone cannot reach ultra-low dew points.

The AirID-60 heatless regenerative desiccant system achieves dew points down to -68°F, keeping compressed air well below moisture saturation — even in hot, humid climates.

🌧 Why Ultra-Low Dew Point Matters for Dry Ice Blasting

Moisture is the number one enemy of dry ice blasting performance.

Wet air can cause:

• Ice buildup inside hoses and guns
• Pellet clumping
• Inconsistent feed rates
• Reduced cleaning energy
• Downtime and service issues

With the AirID-60:

✔ Smooth ice flow
✔ Stable pressure delivery
✔ Reduced freeze-ups
✔ More consistent blasting performance
✔ Protection of expensive blaster internals

For humid regions, desiccant drying is often essential — not optional.

🧠 How the Heatless System Works

The AirID-60 uses a dual-tower regenerative design.

• Compressed air enters one tower and flows upward through desiccant beads
• Moisture is adsorbed and retained in the desiccant media
• Ultra-dry air exits to downstream equipment
• 6–8% of the dried air is redirected to regenerate the second tower
• Towers automatically switch on a timed cycle

This continuous cycle provides uninterrupted ultra-dry air with no operator intervention.

🔁 Heatless Regeneration = Reliable & Efficient

• No heaters
• No additional regeneration power draw
• Lower operating costs
• Continuous duty operation
• Proven industrial design

Simple. Efficient. Industrial.

⚠ Rated Flow vs Actual Flow (Important)

The AirID-60 is rated at 60 CFM based on recommended flow to preserve desiccant life and maintain optimal dew point performance.

Yes — these units can physically flow slightly higher volumes.

However:

Running higher than rated CFM will:

• Increase desiccant saturation speed
• Shorten media life
• Require more frequent bead replacement

This does not damage the dryer — it simply increases maintenance frequency.

We rate our dryers conservatively to protect your investment and maintain consistent dew point performance.

🛠 Maintenance & Desiccant Life

Desiccant dryers are simple and straightforward to maintain.

How to tell when service is needed:

• Dew point begins rising above specification
• Visible downstream moisture
• Excess purge exhaust moisture
• Pressure drop increases
• Desiccant beads show discoloration (oil contamination)
• Reduced drying efficiency

Desiccant replacement is straightforward and can be performed in-house.

Typical desiccant life depends on:

• Inlet air temperature
• Oil carryover
• Operating CFM
• Humidity levels
• Proper upstream filtration

With clean, properly filtered air, media life is long and predictable.

🔌 Power Options

Standard:
• 120V / 60Hz / Single Phase

Optional:
• 220V Single Phase

Additional voltage configurations available upon request.

Minimal electrical demand. Industrial simplicity.

🔄 Ideal System Design: Refrigerated + Desiccant

In a properly designed compressed air system:

Stage 1: Refrigerated dryer removes bulk moisture
Stage 2: Desiccant dryer removes remaining vapor

This two-stage design delivers:

• Maximum drying reliability
• Longest desiccant life
• Reduced purge load
• Optimal performance for dry ice blasting

The AirID-60 is the perfect polishing stage for RS60g and LP-Series compressor platforms.
