Wet mobile phone dried with super drydisk

Have you ever suffered from dropping your mobile phone into water, whether it be into your bath tub, swimming pool, toilet, etc....

Never has there been an easier solution to this problem. Let us show you how easy it can be.

Brownell has developed the Super Drydisk, you simply place your wet telephone or gadget into a plastic bag with your Super Drydisk seal the bag and place in a warm cupboard or warm radiator. Within 24 hours your telephone should be as good as new.

These can be purchased on our webpage.

Hybrid Adsorbent Polymer Protects Against Humidity and Moisture

Brownell has developed moisture adsorbing polymer with the versatility to be tailor shaped and fixed as a practical alternative to conventional desiccant bags in preventing condensation within virtually any product or packaging economically and efficiently.

This sheet-form desiccating agent can be easily cut, formed, punched, shaped and thermo-formed or may be supplied in a standard 200 x 200 mm board size to meet user requirements. It ensures an excellent level of clean drying in a wide variety of products from electronics, machinery, optics and instruments to pharmaceuticals and food.

Low dusting, with no risk of loose desiccants from broken bags, the board is not water soluble. Uniform in thickness and easy to pack, it is non-corrosive and non-deliquescent and even provides a printable surface.

By allowing complex shaping, pliability and mechanical fixing, this humidity adsorbing board helps ensure maximum space occupancy, which is increasingly demanded of moisture protection by product miniaturisation, often with placement as part of the production process.

Wind Turbine Gearbox Dryer protects lubrication oil

Brownell has introduced a new self reactivating dry air breather to prevent contamination of gearbox lubricating oil by water and condensation. The REGEN8 has a robust all weather construction with complete automatic process control including a Telemetry option for remote monitoring and control management.

Many lubricating oils have a water vapour adsorption characteristic. Commercially available lubricating oils are delivered by most manufacturers with low residual water content.

Maintaining this low residual moisture level throughout the gearbox life is a major challenge and requires an active moisture control and management system.

Excessive moisture in a gearbox can result in increased corrosion, a loss of lubrication properties and changes in oil viscosity. The efficient operation of a gearbox through wide operating temperatures during summer and winter is essential.

The Brownell REGEN8 removes the water vapour entering the gearbox to a safe level. This relative humidity is equal to the residual moisture of the lubrication oil. The water vapour is adsorbed using an active adsorbent. A twin channel adsorbent system ensures that the RENEG8 maintains a constant supply feed of dry air into the gearbox. When the adsorbent is saturated an automatic reactivation process is initiated which restores the adsorbent to its maximum efficiency level.

REGEN8 can be used for wind turbine gearboxes of up to 1000 litres free air space.
