Every element of Des-Case's Standard Disposable Breathers have been designed to work in a wide variety of industries and applications. The breather's resilient, integrated nylon standpipe ensures that it can easily combat high vibration and volatile environments. Each breather is outfitted with a clear, rugged polycarbonate casing that allows easy view of colour-indicating desiccant in order to monitor when the breather should be replaced.
With over 25 years of contamination control expertise, Des-Case breathers attack the source of contamination, making the products an affordable and cost effective solution to extend lubricant life and to increase equipment productivity.
How do Des-Case Breathers work?
As wet contaminated air is drawn through the unit, multiple 3-micron polyester filter elements remove solid particulate and the colour indicating 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.

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 particulate while the desiccant beads strip harmful moisture.
While in service or during shut-down, the desiccant beads attract moisture from inside the equipment reservoir, actively drying the equipment.
