    Abstract

    Winners of the Red Dot Design Awards are exhibited in The Design Museum in Essen, Germany for 12-months following the award.

    The design of the compressed air dryers of the Oil Free Air System (OFAS) series is based on low energy consumption, high durability and reduced maintenance. In order to ensure easy access to the innovative OIL-X filters and limit downtime to a minimum, the filters are installed at the front of the device. The user interface provides a great deal of useful data in real time, including upcoming maintenance tasks and energy savings.

    Statement by the Jury: "The forms and transitions of this sophisticated compressed air dryers have an extremely consistent and harmonious look. The user interface sets a bold accent."
