SPECTRA DRIFT ELIMINATOR

Flexible Solution
Spectra Drift Eliminators provide a cost-
effective solution for high performance in
crossflow and counterflow applications.

Features
• Strong blade design allows for span capabilities of 8 to 10 ft. (2.4 to 3 m).

• Durably engineered to handle cleaning with pressure washers.

•  ositive locking design makes field assembly easy without the need for glues
P
or solvents.

• Nesting capability of the components reduces shipping cost.

• Available in material meeting Cooling Technology Institute (CTI) Standard 136.
