As vehicle components are becoming increasingly sophisticated, their tolerance for moisture and other contaminants is a major concern. Modern air brake systems, for example, need clean and dry air to function properly and reliably. Air dryers, as a result, are fast becoming a necessary component on today's trucks and buses.
In response to this burgeoning market need,
Purolator has introduced a compressed Air Dryer/Filter (Part # A26000) for a variety of truck and bus applications. These include many buses and a variety of trucks including Freightliner - Cascadia, Century, FLD; International 4000, 7000, and 9000 truck series; Kenworth C500-W900 Series Trucks; Mack Trucks; Peterbilt 320-389 Trucks; and Volvo VHD, VNL, VT Trucks.
"Moisture and dirt are every machine's enemy; they ruin their functionality," said John Enright, senior product manager for Purolator Heavy Duty Filters.
According to Enright, "Keeping clean, dry compressed air flowing in heavy duty air brake systems ensures system longevity and is vital in any preventive maintenance program. The addition of this new filter will allow truck maintenance facilities to cover many popular trucks and buses with a single part number."
Purolator has built an industry-wide reputation for manufacturing and supplying top quality automotive and heavy duty filters to both original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and the aftermarket, is now utilizing that expertise in air dryers for trucks and buses.
Also available to everyone — service and maintenance personnel and parts distributors — are the Purolator PROs (Purolator Response Office), a team of experts who will answer any filter-related question, free of charge, via personal e-mail within 48 hours.
