xTool Selected Air Dryer - xTool XTL-28006 compressor air dryer for MetalFab systems

xTool Selected Air Dryer XTL-28006 is a compressor-mounted air dryer designed for MetalFab systems. The unit reduces moisture in compressed air used by cutting, engraving and spraying tools, helping to protect pneumatic components and maintain stable performance. Intended for integration with compatible compressors and xTool MetalFab setups, the air dryer lowers the risk of condensate-related faults and helps preserve downstream tool life and process quality.

Advantages

The air dryer provides continuous moisture reduction at the compressor outlet to minimise water carryover into hoses, valves and actuators. Its compact mounting format allows installation close to the compressor to shorten air lines and reduce condensate formation. By lowering relative humidity and dew point in the supply air, the device contributes to more consistent cutting and engraving results and reduces maintenance frequency for pneumatic components. The design supports straightforward integration into existing MetalFab workflows.

Suitable for

• Metal cutting and engraving systems using compressed air-driven nozzles and actuators
• Workshops combining xTool MetalFab devices with compatible compressors
• Pneumatic setups where reduced condensate is required to avoid downtime or corrosion

Key specifications

• Mounting type: compressor-mounted configuration for close coupling to air supply
• Function: moisture reduction / air drying for compressed air lines
• Intended application: metal fabrication and MetalFab system integration
• Compatibility: designed for use with compatible compressors and MetalFab equipment
• Effect on air quality: lowers relative humidity and reduces condensate formation

How to use

Install the air dryer on the compressor outlet according to the compressor and MetalFab system requirements, ensuring correct orientation and secure connections to the main supply line. Route dried air from the dryer to the machine inlet using appropriately rated hoses and fittings. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for pressure and flow limits, and verify that the dryer is compatible with the compressor's discharge conditions. Perform initial checks for leaks and confirm airflow before operating cutting, engraving or spraying processes.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect fittings and seals for wear and check condensate traps or drains where applicable. Maintain the compressor and associated filtration to optimise dryer performance; replace or service any consumable elements per the equipment manufacturer's schedule. If operating in high-humidity environments, consider additional filtration or staged drying to achieve required dew point levels for sensitive applications.
