Altec AIR RAD-0055A-1 Refrigerated Air Dryer – 55 SCFM | 115V Single Phase | Made in the USA

The Altec AIR RAD-0055A-1 Refrigerated Air Dryer is designed to deliver dependable moisture removal for compressed air systems requiring up to 55 SCFM of drying capacity. Built with high-quality industrial components and manufactured in the United States, this dryer provides reliable air treatment for shops and facilities that depend on clean, dry compressed air to keep operations running smoothly.

Moisture in compressed air can cause corrosion, tool failure, contamination of finished products, and unnecessary maintenance costs. The RAD-0055A-1 removes water vapor from compressed air before it enters your distribution system, helping protect tools, automation equipment, pneumatic controls, and downstream filtration.

This model utilizes high-efficiency aluminum heat exchanger technology that allows effective moisture separation while maintaining low pressure drop and energy-efficient performance. Its compact cabinet design allows it to fit easily into compressor rooms or mechanical spaces, while the service-friendly layout makes routine maintenance simple and efficient.

The RAD Series is engineered for reliability and long-term performance, making it an excellent choice for shops that require consistent air quality without complicated system design.

For optimal compressed air quality and system protection, Altec recommends pairing the RAD-0055A-1 with the AR11-0055 filter kit, which helps remove oil aerosols and particulate contamination before and after the drying process.
