Atmospheric air and moisture are a continuous threat to the efficient operations of your equipment and machinery as the same carries with it fine particles. When a hydraulic oil reservoir or gearbox breathes, air containing water vapour is ingested into the system. Temperature fluctuations will cause this water vapour to condense which can speed up the oxidation of the fluid and lead to damage in the system.
The desiccant filter replaces the standard dust cap or breather cap on equipment, offering better filtration to protect against even the smallest particulates that destroy the effectiveness of your machinery and cause downtime and costly repairs.
Desiccant filters air through lightweight breather filters that combine air filtration and moisture absorption. While inhaling air, these filters pass it through a fine 2-micron absolute-rated filter, cleaning it of all possible solid particulates and drying the air as it passes through the drying agent. As moisture is absorbed, the drying agent will gradually change from orange to dark green or blue to pink based on the type of drying agent used. The color change is easy to identify, allowing you to quickly replace the breather and maintain the cleanliness of the fluid reservoir.
With the most durable polycarbonate casing, an impact-resistant standpipe that creates optimal and even airflow, quality check-valve technology, and more, our inline desiccant filter solutions offer protection against moisture and particulate contamination for almost any application in your systems and equipment.
