"Industry spends billions of dollars annually treating the negative effects of oil contamination."

The disposable breathers attack the cause as opposed to treating the problem of contamination. Designed and developed by filtration engineers, this breather is a unique, patented air filter and water vapor removal system. It will virtually eliminate moisture and particulate contamination in industrial equipment reservoirs such as hydraulic tanks and gear boxes.

Maximum Performance

Hygroscopic breather elements are state-of-the-art in design and function, and are industry's best choice for assuring maximum machine performance. They offer these cost-saving benefits:

• Elimination of water-contaminated oil which leads to additive stripping

• Elimination of rust-forming condensation

• Elimination of sludge deposits

• Less abrasive particles to prolong machine operating life

• Longer oil and oil filter life

Resilient Construction

Moisture and particulate accumulation are major factors of oil contamination in industrial equipment. Neglected, these detriments restrict equipment efficiency, causing machine downtime and significant expense in replacement oil, parts and repair labor.
Disposable breathers incorporate a proven, field-tested design. They prevent water and contaminants from entering fluid reservoirs as differential pressures occur through thermal expansion and contraction of the fluid, or during the filling or emptying process.
Disposable breathers utilize the entire area of the patented polyester filter media to remove solid particulate material as small as 3-microns. Accompanying water vapor is then removed by the hygroscopic agent. A final filter ensures that only clean dry air enters the system.

Unique Filtration Process

Every hygroscopic breather is manufactured in a durable, shock-absorbing clear plastic casing with resilient qualities to withstand the customary abuse associated with heavy manufacturing equipment. The units are disposable, and are manufactured entirely of environmentally safe components. These disposable hygroscopic breathers are manufactured in three sizes to accommodate different mounting space requirements. All three models are rated for 20 cfm of air in and out of the tank or reservoir (the equivalent of 150 gpm fluid level change in the tank).
