Hygroscopic Breathers prevent contamination of lubricants.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet Industrial Newsroom) — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 07:35:20 -0600

Available in permanent and disposable styles, Des-Case(TM) Hygroscopic Breathers remove water and particulates from air entering hydraulic reservoirs, gear boxes, and process tanks. Desiccant removes water vapor, while microfiberglass pleated filter eliminates particulates down to 1 micron. Typically supplied with window to show when desiccant needs to be changed, breathers minimize abrasive wear caused by dirty fluids and prevent chemical reactions and spoilage.

Plastic Air Breather includes visual indicator.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet Industrial Newsroom) — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 07:45:59 -0600

Intended for 5-105 gal reservoirs, Plastic Air Breather has 3 micron replaceable filter element and 3.4 in. threaded connection. When element is changed, push-button mechanism returns indicator to original setting. Visual indicator has range of 0.5 psi and shows current contamination levels as percentage. Protective plastic insert prevents topping off of unfiltered operating fluid via breather, which is compatible with commercial industrial hydraulic fluids.

Desiccant Breather removes damaging moisture from air.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet Industrial Newsroom) — Wed, 29 Mar 2006 07:05:09 -0600

Suited for extreme humidity applications, Watchdog® EX Series Breathers incorporate 2 check valves: one to control airflow into protected reservoir, and one to control airflow output. Process prolongs life of desiccant by allowing air to flow through breather only when needed to protect integrity of tank. This provides advantages of breathing air in and out of tank while removing water vapor and solid particles before they can contaminate fluid.

Test System measures air breather effectiveness.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet Industrial Newsroom) — Fri, 03 Mar 2006 07:08:36 -0600

Taking dirt ingression rate and operating environment into consideration, Air Breather Check(TM) (ABC) test system notifies users when it is time to change air breathers. Tester is calibrated in inches of water and will activate, providing visual indication, when vacuum equivalent of 15 in. of water is reached. ABC can be reset by push of button and used repeatedly. Compact unit includes adapter with splash guard and is suited for various installations.

DoublePlayâ"¢ and TriplePlayâ"¢ block free water and prevent microscopic particles from entering fluid containing reservoirs. TriplePlayâ"¢ also offers oil coalescing media that keeps oil mist from entering work environment. With 40 cfm airflow rating, units lower relative humidity inside reservoir to reduce condensation and dew-point temperature. Products are 99.5% efficient in blocking particles 1 micron and larger and work in arid, high-dust environments.

Watchdog® particle filtration and water removal systems prevent contaminants from entering equipment as air is breathed in and out due to thermal expansion or fluid level changes. Designed to replace vent caps on gearboxes, reservoirs, and storage tanks, they feature visual indication of silica for replacement by turning from gold to dark green. Allowing only clean, dry air into industrial equipment, products prolong fluid life and reduce abrasive wear.

Breather prevents in-service lubricant degradation.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet Industrial Newsroom) — Fri, 07 Mar 2003 07:47:12 -0600

Hydroguardâ"¢, suited for moisture-laden applications, combines functions of filtration, desiccant, and membrane technology to eliminate ingression of dirt and water through filler/breather port. Able to withstand direct wash-down spray, system incorporates controlled breathing mechanism that makes system breath only when pressured to do so. Breather is manufactured from engineered plastic and handles air volume caused by thermal expansion and contraction.

Hygroscopic Breathers prevent system contamination.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet Industrial Newsroom) — Mon, 10 Feb 2003 07:40:00 -0600

Des-Case(TM) units remove moisture and particulate from wet, dirty air entering industrial equipment reservoirs, allowing only clean, dry air into lubrication system. Desiccant extracts water vapor from air, while microglass pleated filter removes particles down to 1 micron. Available in permanent and disposable configurations, self-contained products provide visual indication of when to change desiccant, which turns pink when 100% saturated.
