Water Separators

A water separator removes bulk water from the compressed air system to prevent corrosion, contamination, and damage to pneumatic tools, machinery, and equipment. Water in the compressed air can cause irregularities in the operation of pneumatic equipment, such as inconsistent performance or freezing in cold environments. Removing the moisture ensures the compressed air remains dry and maintains consistent, efficient air tools and machinery performance. It’s essential for maintaining the efficiency and longevity of your air-powered systems.

nano’s mechanical water separators use centrifugal force to capture and remove water from compressed air before it enters the equipment or tools. The force spins the compressed air, causing the water to separate and collect at the bottom, where it can be drained.

If your system has multiple compressors or airlines, installing a water separator at each point where moisture could accumulate is usually a good idea. This will help prevent moisture from traveling through the entire system and damaging equipment downstream.

Regular maintenance includes checking the drain valve and ensuring the water separator is free of blockages. It's important to follow nano’s maintenance schedule to keep the unit in optimal working condition.

Yes, external timer drain and zero air loss condensate drain options are available.

Yes, nano water separators have been tested in accordance with ISO 12500-4. 

The cost varies depending on the water separator size required for your compressed air system.
