Sharpe Dryaire Membrane System (6770)

Description

The Sharpe Dryaire Membrane System (6770) is a professional-grade, three-stage compressed air purification and drying system designed for high-performance applications such as automotive painting and industrial finishing. This innovative system is engineered to provide the cleanest, driest air possible directly at the point of use, eliminating the common issues of moisture and oil contamination that can ruin a perfect paint finish. By integrating advanced filtration with a maintenance-free membrane drying technology, the Model 6770 delivers a reliable and consistent supply of ultra-dry air, ensuring superior results and extending the life of your pneumatic equipment. Its compact, lightweight design allows for easy installation, making it an essential component for any workshop or facility where air quality is critical.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Three-Stage Filtration: The system includes a multi-stage process to ensure exceptional air purity. A first-stage filter removes bulk water and larger particles, a second-stage coalescer eliminates oil and sub-micron contaminants, and the third-stage membrane dryer provides the final, crucial step of moisture removal.
• -40°F Dew Point: This extremely low dew point guarantees that the air delivered is exceptionally dry and will not form condensation within the air lines, even in cold environments. This prevents moisture-related defects like fish eyes, blistering, and blushing in paint finishes.
• Maintenance-Free Operation: The advanced membrane dryer does not require desiccant replacements, regeneration cycles, or electrical power, significantly reducing maintenance and operational costs.
• No Electricity Required: The entire system operates solely on the compressed air supply, offering flexibility and convenience for installation in various locations without the need for a power source.

• Included in the box: The Sharpe Dryaire Membrane System (6770) unit is pre-assembled and ready for installation.

HOW TO USE:

1. Mount the Unit: Select a location as close as possible to your point of use (e.g., spray gun) and mount the unit securely to a wall or stand using the provided mounting bracket. Ensure it is installed in an upright position.
2. Connect Air Lines: Connect the compressed air supply line to the “IN” port of the system. Then, connect your tool or spray gun’s air hose to the “OUT” port. The inlet and outlet ports are clearly marked on the unit.
3. Check Pressure and Temperature: Verify that your compressed air supply pressure and temperature do not exceed the maximum ratings of the system.
4. Operate: The system operates automatically once compressed air flows through it. The overnight drain feature will release accumulated liquids from the filter and coalescer stages when the air pressure is shut off.
5. Routine Maintenance: While the membrane is maintenance-free, periodically check the filter elements to ensure they are not clogged. Replace them as needed to maintain optimal performance.
