Description
Hankison FLEX 1.5 Refrigerated Compressed Air Dryer with Pre & Post Filtration – 150 SCFM
The Hankison FLEX 1.5 Refrigerated Compressed Air Dryer with Pre & Post Filtration delivers dependable moisture removal and built-in contaminant protection for compressed air systems up to 150 SCFM. Engineered with Hankison’s advanced phase change material (PCM) thermal storage technology, the FLEX 1.5 automatically matches electrical consumption to compressed air demand, improving efficiency while maintaining consistent pressure dew point performance.
Unlike conventional non-cycling refrigerated dryers that run continuously regardless of load, the FLEX Series cycles intelligently based on system airflow. This reduces energy usage, lowers operating costs, and supports stable compressed air quality across changing production conditions.
Each FLEX 1.5 dryer now ships standard with integrated pre- and post-filtration, providing immediate protection against oil aerosols, liquid moisture, and particulate contamination. The result is cleaner air leaving the dryer, simplified installation, and improved downstream equipment reliability.
The FLEX 1.5 is ideal for machine shops, woodworking facilities, maintenance departments, packaging operations, automotive service environments, and general industrial compressed air systems requiring efficient refrigerated drying with integrated filtration protection.

Standard Pre & Post Filtration Included
Every FLEX 1.5 dryer includes integrated filtration for enhanced compressed air protection:
- Removes upstream solids and oil aerosols before entering the dryer
- High-efficiency downstream polishing filtration
- Extends service life of pneumatic tools, valves, and automation equipment
- Improves reliability across compressed air distribution systems
- Eliminates the need to size and purchase separate inline filters
This integrated filtration package simplifies installation while improving total system protection.
Energy-Saving Load Matching Performance
The FLEX Series uses PCM thermal storage to align electrical consumption directly with compressed air demand. Compared to traditional non-cycling dryers, this significantly reduces energy usage during partial-load operation, helping lower lifecycle operating costs in variable production environments.
Air Quality Performance
The FLEX 1.5 delivers compressed air consistent with ISO 8573-1 Class 4–5 pressure dew point performance, making it suitable for most industrial compressed air systems requiring dependable moisture removal and equipment protection.
