In the past, you didn’t need to think too much about
your air dryer. You could get by with “good enough.”
You could simply “wait and see” before committing to
advancements like oil coalescing technology.

You could simply “wait and see” before committing to

But those days are now gone.
Whether you’re an OE, fl eet, or owner-operator, you
operate in a world of increasingly strict emission
standards and higher costs of running your business.
EPA regulations in 2007 and 2010 dramatically reduced
the allowable diesel engine emissions of nitrogen oxides
(NOx) and particulate matter (PM).

Manufacturers responded to EPA ’07 and ’10 with major
technical advances to their vehicle systems. These
advances – including Advanced Exhaust Gas Recirculation
(EGR), Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), and the Diesel
Particulate Filter (DPF) – have added a total of $10,000 to
$15,000 to the cost of each commercial vehicle. As costs
rise, so does the pressure to protect your investment.

When air contaminated with oil is sent into these

possibly spending a great deal to repair it.

First Phase:
Skin Cooling - Lowers the temperature, converting aerosols to liquid
Second Phase:
PuraGuard
®
Treatment - Coalesces and collects oil particles, protecting the
desiccant from contamination
Third Phase:
Recyclable desiccant removes moisture by adsorption

Preventive Maintenance – as easy as 1-2-3
Adhering to a strict preventive maintenance schedule is crucial to keeping a vehicle’s
air system clean and ensuring superior performance. Depending on vocation, Bendix
recommends a 1, 2 or 3 year air dryer cartridge replacement on vehicles equipped with
a Bendix compressor. For severe service applications, such as residential refuse trucks
or school buses, the air dryer cartridge should be replaced every year or 100,000 miles;
for pick-up and delivery operations, or for double- and triple-trailer line haul trucks,
every two years or 200,000 miles is the recommendation. Line-haul operations using a
single trailer should swap the filter out every 3 years or 300,000 miles. (Recommended
intervals for trucks equipped with non-Bendix compressors are 6 months (50,000 miles),
1 year (100,000 miles) and 2 years (200,000 miles), respectively.)

More frequent intervals may be required depending on a vehicle’s age, its compressor
condition, the operating environment, the vehicle’s vocation, and its usage. In conjunction
with the guidelines, fleets can determine the functionality of their filters by checking for
moisture in the air brake system monthly. If moisture is present, the air dryer cartridge
may require replacement. Reference the Bendix Service Data Sheet of the specific air
dryer for additional information.
