2 The problem is moisture and contamination.

For four decades and literally trillions of miles, commercial carriers have relied on SKF products to improve fleet efficiency, reliability and profitability.

3 For four decades and literally trillions of miles, commercial carriers have relied on SKF products to improve fleet efficiency, reliability and profitability. SKF wheel bearings and Scotseals have always set the industry standard for wheel-end performance and then raised these standards with each new generation of products. Over time, the SKF product line has grown to include a wide range of products for the heavy duty industry, from u-joints and PTOs to heavy duty tensioners, half-stand bearings and rebuild kits. The solution is SKF Brakemaster air dryers. With the ongoing evolution of commercial vehicles, the proliferation of new pneumatic powered accessories has increased demands on vehicles compressed air systems. From kneeling buses to multi-axle ABS brakes, new applications have raised the requirements for clean, dry air, straining existing technologies and creating a need for more efficient and reliable air dryers. The SKF Brakemaster family of air dryers is meeting those needs. In addition to units designed for high-value performance in conventional over-the-road applications, the SKF Brakemaster line includes air dryer units specifically designed to handle the extreme air system demands for such industries as transit and refuse. From the light duty, maintenance saving Turbo-AC to the state-of-the-art 2000 series air dryers now featuring two styles of the Dual Turbo-2000 the standard Dual Turbo-2000 and the High Capacity (H.C.) Dual Turbo-2000 these heavy duty air dryers allow fleets to match air dryer performance to specific application requirements. This brochure provides a brief overview of the SKF Brakemaster line, as well as SKF s Filtration Plus option, which can be retrofitted to the Turbo and HD-2000 air dryers already in service for optimal filtration performance. And with the addition of the H.C. Dual Turbo-2000, the SKF Brakemaster line now can meet the requirements of high output compressors on 2010 transit bus engines. See the table on the back cover to determine which air dryer is best suited to your application.

4 Dual Turbo-2000 Maximum demand Dual Turbo-2000 product line doubles! SKF now offers two styles of the Dual Turbo-2000 the standard Dual Turbo-2000 and the High Capacity (H.C.) Dual Turbo Both units are designed to perform where conventional, single canister air dryers may not be able to meet increasing air demands. The standard Dual Turbo-2000 has been a successful solutions provider for a range of applications, including articulated buses, kneeling buses and off-road applications that use all types of air-actuated valves. And now with the addition of the H.C. Dual Turbo-2000, the SKF Brakemaster line of dual air dryers can meet the requirements of the high output compressors required on 2010 transit bus engines. Proven effective by the country s largest and most severe-use municipal fleets. Keeps air system clean, keeps air capacity high even in the most severe-use situations requiring 100% compressor duty cycles. Electronic toggle device channels air flow through one cartridge while the other regenerates. Easy to install requires no purge tank, reducing fleet downtime. Dryer can be easily serviced on the vehicle. All valves can be quickly accessed. Spin-off/spin-on desiccant cartridges. Now two options to meet extreme air compressor demands Each version of the Dual Turbo-2000 is designed to meet the specific and difficult air quality demands found in high volume applications. The new H.C. Dual Turbo-2000 is ideal for large compressor output applications and is available in 12V 75W (6.6 amps) and 24V 75W (3.2 amps) options. Additionally, it can withstand compressor air flow output of up to 80 scfm and up to 40 percent compressor duty cycle the standard Dual Turbo-2000 withstands up to 40 scfm and 100 percent compressor duty cycle. The H.C. Dual Turbo-2000 includes the same internal filtration package as the standard Dual Turbo-2000 air dryer with 99.9 percent efficiency. It also meets the 2010 EPA requirements for high output compressors on transit buses. These dual units are unbelievably effective, even on our most demanding vehicles. When can we get more? - Fleet Manager, major transit authority Integrated filtration system Designed into both the standard Dual Turbo-2000 and H.C. Dual Turbo-2000 are two Filtration Plus cartridges that remove oil and carbon BEFORE it enters the air system, optimizing performance, extending desiccant service life and protecting downstream components. Additionally, the H.C. Dual Turbo-2000 meets the 2010 EPA requirements for high output compressors on transit buses. Dual Turbo-2000 H.C. Dual Turbo-2000

Its ratio of large purge volume to desiccant produces the ideal filtering system and contamination protection for heavy-duty service today. A four-way filtration system, consisting of three filter screens, a unique filtering bag, plus four pounds of high quality molecular sieve desiccant, strips away moisture and traps compressor blow-by. The filtering bag also serves to contain desiccant, so no contamination can travel downstream and cause havoc in the air system. The spin-off cartridge can be serviced in minutes. The compact purge tank can be installed anywhere and provides a full 460 cu. in. of clean purge air. For all-weather operation the Turbo-2000 is equipped with a sealed 12 volt (or optional 24 volt) 75 watt thermostatically controlled heater with SAE industry standard connector.
