    Air dryer recommendations? for 80 gallon compressor running a VF2

    I am running an 80 gallon, 5 HP, Ingersoll Rand compressor, and due to our lovely NJ summer weather I am seeing more water in my lines than I would like. I bleed off the tank to get rid of moisture but it isn't solving the problem. Does anyone have any recommendations on air dryers?

    Thanks

    This one will handle 11 cfm and matches your comp. Its free shipping and reduced price.

    Hey manike, I have a brand new 28 cfm dryer I purchased from eatoncompressor.com that has only been ran for probably and hour (If that much). I live in the AZ desert and have never needed it. I will make you a deal on it if you are interested. You can check up on me in my AO feedback thread . LMK.

    PS I have all the original paperwork.

    Aargh Luke, I would have been interested, but I was so worried about the moisture that I ordered a unit already. Should have had more patience I guess.

    I'm going to be running a take off from the dry side into a Shoebox compressor also

    That's no problem.

    How do you like the Shoebox? I really need to get me one.

    It's an impressive little unit. I am planning to get it set up nicely with a 4500psi out put and a regulated side that puts out 3000psi. Feeding it dry air will only help the end results.
