Desiccant Breathers Filter separates contaminant such as dirts & moistures from air entering machinery, sumps & different reservoirs.Moisture and dirt originating outside of machine system are major cause of equipment or machinery loss of use.Moisture originating outside of machine causes corrosion and mechanical wear along with dirt. Moisture can cause changes in viscosity deplete additives and cause sludge formation.

Dessicant is a hygroscopic (material that attracts and hold water molecules) substance.

A desiccant breather filter is a device used to remove moisture and contaminants from the air entering equipment such as gearboxes, transformers, and other enclosed systems. The filter typically contains a desiccant material, such as silica gel, which absorbs moisture, as well as a filter element that removes particles and other contaminants. The desiccant material is usually contained in a replaceable canister, which can be replaced when it becomes saturated with moisture. These breathers are commonly used in industrial settings, particularly in environments where moisture and high humidity can cause problems for equipment.

Gearboxes, pumps and reservoirs take in and take out i.e. “breathe” when air in the empty space expand and shrinks due to temperature changes and oil level changes in the case of hydraulic systems-incoming fluid displaces air or when hydraulic components are running. Each time equipment exchanges

air -dirt, debris and moist liquid vapors are brought in, contaminating the lubricant and damaging the equipment in process. 50% lubricant contamination comes from outside machinery and most machines are designed to breathe,
