Non-Desiccant Breathers are an essential tool for protecting your gearboxes, reservoirs, and storage tanks. These breathers work by filtering the air that enters your equipment, stopping dust and solid particles from contaminating your oil. Unlike desiccant breathers, which use silica gel to remove water, these versions focus entirely on high-quality particle filtration.
When comparing the two, the main difference is how they handle moisture. Desiccant breathers are best for humid areas because they remove water vapor, but they require regular replacement once the gel changes color. Non-Desiccant Breathers are better for applications where the environment is already dry or where the equipment creates its own heat that prevents condensation. Because they do not have beads to saturate, they often last longer and require less maintenance.
Choosing a Non-Desiccant Breather is a cost-effective way to extend the life of your lubricants. Every unit is designed for easy installation and high airflow, ensuring your system can “breathe” without letting in harmful dirt. To help you make the right choice, every order includes access to I-care engineering expertise. Our engineers can provide comments and advice to ensure you choose the best protection for your specific industrial environment.
