    Proax: Prevent Costly Downtime – The Critical Importance of Removing Water from Your Factory Air

    At Proax, they understand that unexpected downtime can devastate your production schedule and bottom line. As a reliable distributor of SMC pneumatic solutions, they have seen firsthand how one often-overlooked culprit—water in compressed air systems—can silently undermine your operation’s efficiency. While many manufacturers focus on removing oil and particulate contaminants through standard filtration, water vapor presents a more insidious challenge. A standard 100 hp compressor operating in typical conditions (86°F, 80% relative humidity, 100 psi) can produce a staggering 30 gallons of condensate during a single eight-hour shift.
