Marco’s BLASTMASTER 750 & 1600 CFM Air Dryers

Marco Group

International’s

Blastmaster 750 & 1600 CFM Air

Dryers remove up to 99% of water in compressed air by cooling and then passing it through moisture absorb- ing desiccant tab- lets. Wet abrasive reduces production rates by causing poor abrasive ? ow through the abrasive blasting system, resulting in excessive wear on equipment, increasing mainte- nance costs and increasing abrasive consumption. www.marco.us
