Basic protection from moisture and particulate contamination in lubricant and equipment
This breather unit replaces the standard dust cap or OEM breather cap on equipment. As air is drawn into equipment through the breather, the layered filter elements remove particulates while the desiccant beads strip harmful moisture. While in service or during shutdown, the desiccant beads attract moisture from inside the equipment reservoir, actively drying the equipment.
High airflow, long-lasting desiccant breathers with check-valve technology are ideal for tank forms and large applications
As wet, contaminated air is drawn through the unit, multiple 3-micron polyester filter elements remove solid particulates, and the silica gel extracts moisture. When air is expelled from the container, the top foam pad prevents oil mist from contacting silica gel or entering the atmosphere. The breather is outfitted with a resilient nylon standpipe and polypropylene oil mist reducer to allow oil mist to coalesce and drain back into the reservoir, rather than compromising the desiccant. Check-valves are located underneath the unit to isolate equipment from ambient conditions, prolonging breather life and protecting system integrity.
Ideal solution to protect against moisture and particulate contamination in low-flow applications with intermittent operations or in low-flow steady-state operations
LE’s most versatile breather solution
For high-flow applications
This breather unit replaces the standard dust cap or OEM breather cap on equipment. As air is drawn into equipment through the breather, the pleated filter element removes solid particulates while the desiccant extracts moisture.
While in service or during shutdown, the desiccant beads attract moisture from inside the equipment reservoir, actively drying the equipment.
Prevent contamination when humidity is not an issue
As wet, contaminated air is drawn through the unit, the hydrophobic media repels water while the particulate filter captures dirt, preventing both from entering the equipment (ND-2).
As wet, contaminated air is drawn through the unit, the hydrophobic media repels water while the pleated particulate filter provides a large surface area and protects against particulate contamination. The unit also blocks free water from the reservoir (ND-35).
LE's Xclude breather accessory and adapter products offer an optimum solution for various equipment connection needs. No matter the connection type and size, breather adapters provide a sealed system that will protect equipment from external moisture and harmful particle contamination. Choose from a variety of materials, connection port size, and thread requirements in order to properly outfit your equipment application.
