Protect barrels & IBC against corrosion, quality degradation of substances contained & the escape of harmful aerosols.
Have you noticed condensation droplets inside your barrel or IBC or even worse: Rust, water in the stored medium, sludge deposits and an aggressive smell when the barrel or IBC is refilled? The cause: Moisture and dirt particles entering the barrel or IBC unhindered when stored medium is released and air is sucked in to equalize pressure, plus aerosols escaping when the tank is refilled.
Let‘s face it, if you don‘t do anything about it, you‘re heading for expensive maintenance work and damage to employees and environment.
Luckily, there‘s a solution: the installation of an GIEBEL Adsorber®. It dries and cleans the supply air and prevents pollutants from escaping - saving you maintenance work and money.
Why water & dirt should be you biggest concern?
IBCs and barrels are often used to store substances such as ester oils so that they can be used when required. These oils are highly hygroscopic, i.e. they literally attract moisture.
Up to the saturation point of the oil, water is present as dissolved water and is not visible to the naked eye. Under pressure or with temperature fluctuations, this water emulsifies or so-called free water is formed. This is particularly harmful for lubrication systems as the incompressibility of the water removes the hydrodynamic oil film that protects the bearings. Excessive wear is the result.
Water also reduces the durability of the oil by accelerating oxidation and breaking up the hydrocarbon chains. Oil containing additives is even more susceptible to water contamination. Additives and water react to form acids that increase corrosion in machinery.
Preventing the entry of moisture is therefore the top priority in order to store hygroscopic substances for a long time, at low cost and without causing consequential damage to the machines for which these oils are intended. Exactly what our GIEBEL Adsorbers® do!

Breather dryers
Breather dryers adsorb humidity and thus prevent water from entering barrels & IBC. They protect barrels from corrosion and hygroscopic substances from quality degradation.

Oil mist separators
Oil mist separators prevent oil aerosols and other pollutants from escaping from barrels & IBC. They protect employees and the environment from contact with harmful substances.
