NEW GENERATION AIR DRYING

With redesigned forms and improved maintainability, the TopAze puts you in control of your process.

THE COMPLIANT DRYER

This dryer adapts to your needs as you can add customised packs to a unique base.

Control panel

A redesigned eye-level touch-screen interface. Discover all the functions that will allow you to intuitively control your TopAze dryer. You have direct access to the timer, setting, maintenance, warnings, etc.

Accessibility

As all good equipment should be accessible and because time is precious, we have simplified operations on the TopAze with improved accessibility : Bypass, access doors, centralisation of components in the lower section.

In order to guarantee compressed air free from all impurities, Chaumeca provides you with its new Alium and Arum filters.

Effec�ve filtra�on

Design plays an important role well beyond to the product's appearance. We have improved our products in this area by creating a dryer multipack, so it can be best tailored to your environment.

THE STRENGTH OF DESIGNDESIGN & ERGONOMICS

Operating principleAt compressor outlets, the air is warm and saturated with moisture. The role of a dryer is to remove this moisture before it adversely affects the use of downstream equipment. In order to effectively meet this need, CHAUMECA has designed the TopAze, a dryer based on the temperature swing adsorption process (pressure dew point up to -70°C/flows of 400 to 8,800 m3/h*). * permissible nominal flow rate for operation at 7 bar and 35°C with inflow conditions of 20°C – Atmospheric pressure.

Compressed air dryingMore than a simple air dryer, the TopAze offers you guaranteed performance thanks to its flexibility and ability to adapt to the most demanding environments.

Air is dried by passing it through activated alumina, an adsorbent product, which will retain the moisture by temporarilly trapping the water molecules on its surface.

In order to restore the activated alumina’s adsorbent capacity, it must be freed of this moisture by a regeneration phase.

RegenerationAfter drying the air, the TopAze moves on to a heating cycle to release the water from the alumina. Pulsed cooling with the dry air produced (or ambient air in order to preserve the speed of your process - see the proposed versions) allows the activated alumina’s adsorbent capacity to be restored.

In order for your dryer to be more effective, we offer you the opportunity to tailor your TopAze to your environment and your requirements (depending on the packs and options available).

AdsorptionA property that certain solids (adsorbents) have to trap gases (adsorbates) on their surface. The use of this technology allows an outcome to be achieved that is tailored to your needs, in terms of air flow and dew point (from -20°C to -70°C under pressure).
