Terminator

The maintenance free SDK Terminator developed and made in Canada is a turbulent dryer (liquid separator) representing a very simple, yet very effective means for removal of water condensation and water mist from compressed air streams.

Our low pressure-drop dryers offer unquestionable dependability at an affordable price as well as an easy in line installation and unlimited life expectancy under normal operating conditions. Yet, they do not require any consumable parts, cleaning, or any other maintenance, except for bleeding off of the captured water, which can be automated with a timer valve.

The beige 4-16 dryer (on the left) is one of the 3 original steel prototypes, which has served at Arcfab Inc. impeccably since 1989. The stainless steel Terminator 4-16 in the picture is the final commercial unit under testing.

As opposed to all of the competition turbulent dryers we have so far tested, Terminator is not subject to development of momentary break downs in the internal vortex airflow pattern. Therefore, it does not discharge a quantity of condensed water into the tools and onto the work every so often.

Terminator has an exceptionally large holding capacity of the collected water (2/5 of its volume). It also supports an unprecedented range of airflow, which makes it a very universal dryer. It does not matter whether you need to run 1, 2 or 8 tools, Terminator will do the job.

The SDK Terminator is also very suitable as a pre-dryer for desiccant dryers, preventing liquid water mist from the compressor and the eventual condensation from the line to enter into the desiccant. It removes part of the water content and saves on maintenance time needed to replace and dry the desiccant and it saves on energy needed to dry it.

It is also advantageous as a pre-dryer for refrigerated air dryers. Water, which did not enter the dryer, does not have to be removed. This may save on downtime limiting occasional freeze ups and it certainly saves on energy consumption.

Terminator 4-16 air dryer will easily support up to 8 hand held power tools such as chipping hammers, polishers, buffers or grinders etc. In other terms, it will serve any quantity and combination of tools, which can be steadily supported by a 50 HP compressor output.
Terminator 3-12 air dryer will support up to two portable plasma cutters, up to three spray guns, or power tools such as hand held chipping hammers, polishers, buffers or grinders etc. In other terms, it will serve any quantity and combination of tools, which can be steadily supported by a 20 HP compressor.

We recommend to blow off possible water condensation from the lines past the Terminator dryer before commencing work, if it should ever happen, even though the long term experience does not show that it ever does. When the lines have not been in use for a day or more under severe ambient condition changes, they may contain a marginal amount of condensed water. This is definitely not necessary during the shift, even if the dryer is in an intermittent use.

We also offer an optional mounting hanger.

This hanger has been originally designed to retain the SDK 3-12 dryer on portable plasma cutters. Never the less, the hanger accepts both, 3 - 12 as well as 4 - 16 dryers.

The hanger mounts by two 1/4" screws to any flat surface, such as a wall, or a machine body.

The hanger allows vertical adjustment of the vertical position of the dryer as well as adjustability of its orientation.

This kind of installation also allows the dryer to be connected to the air lines by hoses and quick connections. The dryer can be used as a transferable unit on mobile equipment, such as portable sand blasters, or for field spray painting etc.

The hanger and the strap are again made from Stainless Steel for virtually unlimited durability.

The SDK Terminator is not recommended for use with intermittent air draw equipment like pneumatic nailers, air clutches, air actuators etc.
The SDK Terminator is suitable for spray guns, grinders, polishers, jackhammers, sandblasters, plasma cutters and similar, where the tools or equipment draw a continuous air flow through the dryer.
This unit will remove a marginal portion of humidity from the compressed air stream, but it is not suitable as a dehumidifier. This will be another development.
