Parker honoured with Red Dot award

4th Quarter 2018 Pneumatic systems & components

Parker Hannifin has been honoured with the Red Dot Award: Product Design 2018 for its integrated drying and filtration system, Oil Free Air System (OFAS). The German Red Dot Award is one of the most prestigious design awards and recognised as a seal of design excellence worldwide. The Red Dot is established internationally as one of the most sought-after quality marks for good design. The products are judged by an international jury of well known design experts.

The innovative OFAS system combines sophisticated Oil-X filtration technology with an optimised drying system. It has been designed to provide consistent high performance even over an extended period of time. Developed to set a new standard for the industry in terms of efficiency and productivity, it uses a specialist high strength desiccant cartridge with snowstorm filling that maximises packing density, prevents channelling effects, guarantees a consistent dew point and contributes to an extremely low differential pressure, helping to reduce the energy consumption of the compressor. Minimum total cost of ownership and the best cost-benefit ratio of any high quality air treatment solution are guaranteed through reduced service times, more simplicity in the replacement of parts, maximum uptime, extended maintenance periods and longer operational life. With OFAS, Parker Zander has redefined compressed air drying and filtration in order to provide for the best possible combination of economy, efficiency, quality, functionality and longevity.
