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
color-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. |

|
| Benefits & Models: |
- Elimination of
water-contaminated
oil which leads
to additive stripping
- Elimination of
rust-forming
condensation
- Elimination of
sludge deposits
- Less abrasive
particles to
prolong machine
operating life
- Longer oil and
oil filter life

- HydroGuard Hybrid Breathers
|
 |
The
patented Hydroguard™ Hybrid
Breather is the ideal solution for
the management of lubricant in: |
|
- Frequent wash-down applications
- Frequent cycle applications
- Applications in which the
breather bladder can maintain
a sealed system
- High humidity environments
where there are increased
incidences of gearbox and
lubricant failure due to
moisture ingress
- Low-flow applications
- High-humidity applications
|
| The
Hydroguard Hybrid Breathers
handle air volume caused
by thermal expansion and
contraction only. The threaded
standpipe design can easily
be adapted to any size
reservoir opening. Please
see below for details on
all Hydroguard™ Hybrid
Breather models. |

- VentGuard Hybrid Breathers
|
 |
Ventguard™ Hybrid
Breathers are outfitted with check
valves to ensure no excess pressure
or vacuum builds inside the equipment
system. The interior check valves
on the Ventguard™ hybrid breather
virtually isolate equipment from
surrounding contaminants. The Ventguard™ Hybrid
Breathers are the ideal for the management
of lubricant in: |
|
- Limited wash-down applications
(the Ventguard™ may
spend more quickly in a
frequent wash-down situation
due to the lack of the
bladder)
- Infrequent cycle applications
- Applications in which the
headspace is much larger
than the Hydroguard™ breather
bladder can maintain
- Low-flow applications
- High-humidity applications
|
| The
Des-Case Ventguard™ Hybrid
Breather comes in a variety
of models that can easily
adapt to any machinery
application. Please see
below for details on all
Ventguard™ Hybrid
Breather models. |

- Rebuildable Steel Breathers
|
 |
Rebuildable
Steel Breathers were designed specifically
for applications where there are
very high temperatures, extremely
polluted air, or a corrosive environment.
They are ruggedly designed, with
housings of powder-coated carbon
steel or stainless. The hygroscopic
agent (desiccant) is enclosed in
a bag of polypropylene filter material.
This desiccant bag filter is easily
installed when it is time to replace
or recharge the unit. The 1-micron
pleated filter has a large surface
area, resulting in long service life.
Like the bag filter, it is easily
replaced without removing the breather
from service. Rebuildable Steel Breathers
accommodate large air flow rates
with minimal pressure drops. |
|
Benefits & Models:
- Elimination of water contamination
in oil and other fluids
- Elimination of rust and
corrosion inside the container
- Increased oil and filter
life
- Reduced abrasive wear, down-time,
and repair costs
- Improved lubricant performance
- Eliminates chemical reactions,
or spoilage
- More reliable equipment
performance
