Dear Customer,
Let us take this opportunity to introduce our company.

Airtek is an innovative manufacturer of industrial refrigeration and filtration equipment for
compressed air systems. Our product line includes after coolers, fluid coolers, water
separators, air filters, gas dryers, refrigerated air dryers and heatless and heat reactivated
desiccant air dryers. Our products have found locations in all corners of the world.
We are committed to assuring your satisfaction with your new dryer. In doing so we have
developed a factory authorized network of service facilities across the country and Canada.
This will aid in expedient service to you.
The most important step for you as a customer is to call us first if you are experiencing a
problem with your dryer.
If there is a question regarding any or all of our warranty policies and procedures, please
call. We can be reached at 1-800-451-6023, we would be happy to speak with you.
Thank You
