Get a complete portable air treatment system that works seamlessly with Atlas Copco’s mobile air compressors, nitrogen generators, and high-pressure boosters.

Built to perform in extreme conditions

Featuring a durable, corrosion-resistant frame that ensures long-lasting reliability and protection in harsh outdoor environments.

Compact design & simple operation

Easy to transport, install, and maintain—allowing for quick setup and hassle-free operation even in remote or challenging locations.

High-performance air treatment for demanding conditions

Atlas Copco’s CDR series delivers robust compressed air treatment for industrial, offshore, and remote applications. These twin tower desiccant air dryers ensure reliable moisture removal with a consistent dew point of -40°C/-40°F, safeguarding your equipment from corrosion, freezing, and water-related failures.

 

Operating within a pressure range of 7–16 bar (100–230 psi) and flow rates up to 80 m³/min (2754 cfm), the CDR dryers are engineered to perform under pressure—literally. Whether used in pipeline purging or remote drilling, they provide a consistent supply of dry air essential for high-performance air treatment solutions.

 

Built to endure the harshest environments

Atlas Copco desiccant compressed air dryers are designed for extreme operating conditions
Designed for extreme operating conditions, CDR dryers are enclosed in a durable, weather-resistant frame that withstands ambient temperatures from -25°C to 50°C (-10°F to 122°F). These rugged air treatment units are constructed from corrosion-resistant materials to reduce wear, minimize maintenance, and ensure long-term performance. Whether deployed in desert heat, coastal humidity, or arctic cold, the CDR series delivers uninterrupted compressed air treatment wherever it's needed.

Mobile and installation-friendly design

Mobile and installation-friendly design of Atlas Copco portable air treatment solution
Compact and easy to transport, CDR dryers are purpose-built for mobile operations. The space-efficient design fits seamlessly alongside portable compressors and other air treatment equipment. Quick-connect couplings and intuitive controls ensure fast deployment and minimal operator training—making the CDR the ideal choice for both planned and emergency air-drying requirements.

Pneumatically controlled for hassle-free operation

Pneumatically controlled for hassle-free operation of CDR compressed air dryers
The CDR series is equipped with a self-contained pneumatic controller that operates without external electricity. This allows the twin tower desiccant dryers to function independently in locations where power sources are limited or unavailable. The smart pneumatic system automates air drying cycles, enhancing reliability while minimizing setup complexity. Ideal for mobile applications and rental fleets, this feature simplifies logistics and maximizes uptime in the field.
