06 AMT
The AMT air dryer system uses Adsorbent
Media Tube (AMT) technology.
Not to be confused with semi permeable membranes,
AMT is totally resistant to bulk water and there's no by-
product or chemical reaction when saturated.
The open structure of the AMT allows maximum surface
area for moist air to permeate, compared with the clay
binder found in a regular desiccant dryer allowing faster
adsorption and a more efficient drying performance.
AMT is tightly packed into a canister, where their uniform shape means
they are unaffected by the vibration of rolling stock. This ensures a
consistent flow of air through the dryer with minimal drop in pressure.
The AMT's performance does not degrade over time,
and as there's no clay component, there's no dust – a
huge advantage over desiccant air dryer solutions.
