1996 Pneumatech PE-500 Heated Purge Air Dryer & Replacement Filter Elements | 500 SCFM | -40°F Dew Point

Pneumatech PE-500 Heated Regenerative Air Dryer | 500 SCFM

Ultra-Dry -40°F Dew Point | High-Efficiency Heated Purge | S/N: 9604-S123239-74775

Available for acquisition is a high-capacity Pneumatech PE-500 externally heated regenerative desiccant dryer. This industrial-grade unit is engineered for critical processes where even a trace of moisture can compromise production. By using an external heater to regenerate the desiccant beds, this model is significantly more energy-efficient than heatless dryers, saving thousands in compressed air costs annually.

Technical Specifications

• Model: PE-500
• Serial Number: 9604-S123239-74775
• Capacity: 500 SCFM
• Performance: Consistent -40°F Pressure Dew Point
• Electrical: 460V / 3-Phase / 60Hz
• Heater: 7.5 kW External Regeneration Heater
• Max Pressure: 150 PSIG
• Hours: 58,600 (Maintained in a professional facility)

Key Features & Performance

• Critical Air Quality: Delivers ultra-dry air for sensitive applications like pharmaceutical manufacturing, food processing, and high-precision electronics.
• Heated Purge Efficiency: Reduces "purge air" loss to approximately 5–7%, compared to the 15% loss common in heatless desiccant dryers.
• Dual-Tower Continuous Duty: Reliable twin-tower design ensures 24/7 operation—one tower dries your process air while the other is regenerated by the external heater.
• Proven Industrial Platform: Pneumatech's PE series is known for heavy-duty switching valves and a robust control logic that stands up to decades of service.
• 
  
• Maintenance Ready: All components are standard industrial sizes, making future service and desiccant changes straightforward for any plant maintenance team.

Condition Note: This unit was recently decommissioned from a professional industrial environment. With 58,600 hours, it has been a reliable part of a managed air system. The 460V electrical system and 7.5 kW heater are intact. This unit offers a massive capital saving for a plant needing to upgrade their air quality without the $45,000+ cost of a new system. This unit also includes NOS replacement filter elements & housings.
