Securing your air brake systems
The heaviest vehicles, such as trucks, buses, construction and agricultural machinery, are usually equipped with air brakes.
In order to generate the compressed air required for braking, the compressor takes in ambient air, which is naturally laden with moisture. This water contamination damages the pipes, valves and reservoirs of the braking system by promoting corrosion and the risk of freezing.
Brake failure poses obvious safety issues for the driver and other road users. It can also lead to costly repairs and downtime. It is therefore important to use an air dryer to prevent these risks.
