About Us
Welcome to Silicair Dryers Limited, one of Europe';s leading designers and manufacturers of desiccant compressed air and gas drying equipment for the removal of water vapour and other contaminants!
Silicair Dryers Limited was formed in 1967 by Brian Singleton and Tony Williams following the closure of the Silica Gel Company. For well over 35 years, we have been designing and manufacturing desiccant dryer packages for supplying very high quality compressed air and gas supplies for any number of applications and processes. The result of these years of development is to create an organisation which has an unrivalled reputation for providing quality and reliable solutions to compressed air treatment problems in all industrial sectors.
Silicair Dryers have continually developed new products to provide a range of models that ensures that we now have one of the widest product ranges available from any single source.
Whether you require a small desiccant dryer for a workshop application through to a highly complex dryer/filter/controls package for an offshore or petrochemical installation, Silicair can provide you with a cost effective and energy efficient solution to meet your particular requirement. The Silicair brand name is also synonymous throughout the World with clients and contractors who require product to be designed and constructed to their own special requirements, with their products often being used as part of an overall turnkey package.
In mid 1999, Silicair further expanded the operation and scope of supply with the acquisition of the business of Dryvent Limited, a slightly smaller competitor who were originally formed by personnel out of the Silica Gel company. Dryvent was formed in 1962 and tended to concentrate their activities on more specialist dryers, especially with regard to medium and high pressure application, as well as low pressure requirements. Some product rationalisation has occurred as there were areas of competition.
Both Companies have an excellent reputation for product reliability and customer service and have now been merged into one operation based in Shepperton. The combined product range ensures that we can meet virtually any requirement for providing you with a design to provide a quality compressed air or gas supply to meet your particular requirements.
The latest development with the Company occurred at the end of October 2002 when a Management Buyout of the Company was completed by three existing Managers Andy Williams, Martin Wright and Warren Medhurst.
