The ARCO ARAD-24 is a refrigerant air dryer rated for compressed air systems with airflow up to 2.4 m³/min. It is well matched to automotive workshops, small manufacturing facilities, and packaging operations that require a reliable supply of dry compressed air for tools, spray equipment, and automated systems. Using an air-cooled aluminium alloy fin-tube evaporator with R134a refrigerant, the ARAD-24 efficiently removes moisture from the compressed air stream entering the system.
The LED control panel displays operating status and alerts operators to fault conditions, keeping downtime to a minimum in a busy workshop environment. Dry compressed air extends the service life of pneumatic tools, prevents corrosion in air distribution pipework, and is essential for spray painting applications where moisture in the compressed air causes paint defects and poor finish quality.
Rotary screw compressors offer significant advantages over piston alternatives in industrial settings. The ARSC-30A runs quieter at 75 dB(A) than comparable piston units, reducing operator fatigue and improving the working environment during long production shifts.
The direct-drive configuration eliminates belt maintenance and reduces mechanical losses, translating into improved energy efficiency over the compressor’s service life. The ARSC-30A is a cost-effective investment for operations that rely on consistent, high-volume compressed air.
The ARCO ARSC-30A is supplied as a complete, ready-to-connect compressor unit. All electrical connections are pre-wired to the unit’s control panel, and the outlet fitting is sized at 1¼” for standard industrial hose and pipe connections.
The unit ships fully assembled and factory-tested. Installation requires only a suitable electrical supply connection and anchorage to the floor if required.

The ARAD-24 keeps moisture out of your compressed air system protecting equipment and ensuring quality output every single shift.
Yes. The ARAD-24 is well suited to automotive workshops handling up to 2.4 m³/min which covers most workshop compressors in the piston or small screw range. Dry air is particularly important for spray painting pneumatic tool operation and tyre inflation equipment used daily.
The primary difference is airflow capacity. The ARAD-12 handles up to 1.2 m³/min while the ARAD-24 handles up to 2.4 m³/min. Both use R134a refrigerant the same RC3/4″ pipe connection and identical LED control systems. Choose the ARAD-24 if demand exceeds 1.2 m³/min.
Yes. The ARAD-24 includes an automatic condensate management system that condenses moisture from the air and drains it continuously during operation. Check the drain periodically to ensure it remains unblocked. Refer to the product manual for recommended inspection and maintenance intervals during regular use.
The ARAD-24 operates on a standard single-phase 220V / 50Hz power supply at just 0.52 kW. This is compatible with standard workshop electrical outlets and does not require a dedicated circuit in most workshop or light industrial installation environments making connection simple.
