A quick guide to industrial compressors and desiccant dryers

Apr 11th, 2024
A selection of Industrial Grade Air Compressors and Desiccant Dryers

Looking for industrial-grade air compressors or desiccant dryers? At EEL, we’ve got you covered with a wide range of options available for both short- and long-term hire. Whether you’re working in manufacturing, raw material excavation, logistics, or any other industry, we can help you find the perfect solution to match your needs.

Our air compressors range from 30–350 bar and come with on-site technical support as standard—because we know your time is valuable, and downtime isn’t an option.

Here’s a quick guide to some of the common types of air compressors and desiccant dryers we offer:

Electric High Pressure Compressors

These are the workhorses of our compressor rental fleet, with a water-cooled, cast-iron construction they are capable of truly continuous running.

Commonly used for breathing air, when coupled to a dryer, they can operate anywhere ranging from factories and naval dock yards for warship and submarine support to the tropics to the poles on seismic surveys.

Seismic Compressors

Diesel-powered air compressors are designed for seismic jobs. Equipped with integrated diesel generators, these compressors can go wherever your project takes you, whether it’s a remote mining site, a bustling construction zone or offshore across the globe.

Desiccant Air Dryers (Absorption Dryers)

Did you know that natural air contains moisture? When compressed, this moisture needs to be removed to prevent damage to equipment and ensure smooth operations. That’s where desiccant air dryers come in. These systems pass air through highly absorbent materials—such as silica, activated charcoal, or zeolites—that efficiently extract water. Pairing a dryer with your air compressor is a must for most industrial applications.

Ready to get started?

If you need an industrial-grade air compressor or desiccant air dryer in a hurry—or you want reliable on-site support wherever you are—give us a call at +44 1502 714822 or get in touch here.
