Muskegon, Michigan, March 9, 2025 – SAF-HOLLAND, a leading global manufacturer of heavy-duty commercial vehicle components, is pleased to announce that the ApolloSDx™ Super-Duty Air Treatment System joins the Haldex family of air treatment systems, including the GeminiMDx^®, DRYest^®, and PURest^®. These air treatment systems efficiently remove water vapor, moisture, oil particles, and other contaminants from the compressed air generated by the truck’s compressor before it enters the air brake reservoirs.

With the launch of ApolloSDx, a complete line of Haldex air treatment solutions will now be offered to cover all industry applications. Designed to fit those applications between standard and severe-duty use, ApolloSDx is ideal for OTR line-haul, dump trucks, roll-off and rural refuse trucks, straight and service trucks, terminal tractors, agricultural vehicles, school buses, emergency vehicles and recreational vehicles.

The innovative new ApolloSDx air drying system—is an advanced solution engineered to deliver clean, dry air to maximize braking performance. This system integrates proven Haldex air drying technologies to enhance efficiency and reliability.

At the core of the ApolloSDx is the Consep™ (Condenser/Separator) and the PURest Air Dryer which features an integrated purge volume, eliminating the need for a separate tank. The Consep pre-treats incoming air, removing up to 90% of contaminants before it reaches the PURest Air Dryer. This process extends the life of the Multi-Treatment Cartridge (MTC+), which will remove up to 99% of any remaining moisture in the compressed air, providing superior protection against corrosion, freezing, and component failure.

Designed for installation by the OEM or is easily fleet retrofittable. The ApolloSDx features a compact system design optimizing undercarriage space for flexible mounting and easy maintenance. A preassembled system on a custom mounting bracket enables quick installation, with the Consep positioned on either the left or right side to accommodate vehicle configurations.

The PURest Air Dryer with its integrated and easily accessible components, simplify servicing the dryer which translates to reduced maintenance time. Changing the MTC+ cartridge requires only ½-inch of vertical clearance above the canister housing, making for easy service replacement.

For unmatched performance, the ApolloSDx configuration delivers up to 34 SCFM, filtering and drying air to extend the life of downstream components. By eliminating unnecessary fittings and tubes, Haldex enhances system reliability by reducing potential leak points.

Moisture in the air system can compromise brake performance. Left unchecked, moisture leads to frozen lines, increased downtime, and costly repairs. The ApolloSDx effectively removes moisture, carbon, oil, dirt, and other contaminants that cause corrosion, freezing, and component failure.

With ApolloSDx, Haldex sets a new standard in air treatment, ensuring enhanced durability and reliability for vehicle applications demanding superior air-drying performance.
