Desiccant Breather

Desiccant Breathers

Protecting lubricants and equipment from damage due to moisture and particulate intrusion. Extending service cycles and equipment life resulting in lower lifetime operating costs. The Zinga breather replaces the customary dust caps or breathers often found on new equipment. When contaminated air enters the top of the breather, it passes through layered filter media, blocking solid particles from entering the breather and preventing undue wear to your equipment  surfaces. The filtered air passes through a bed of silica gel which effectively removes moisture. The silica beads keep the equipment dry by attracting moisture from inside the equipment reservoir during service or shut-down.

Construction of Breathers

Center Tube

The center tube is constructed from rugged nylon material providing rigidity to the element and allowing for even airflow through the silica gel.

Secondary Filter Media

Second filter step prevents any possible migration of silica dust providing added system protection.

Moisture Absorbent

The silica gel provides industry leading moisture removal and holds up to 40% of its weight.

ABS Outer Shell

Clear outer shell provides a visual indicator of silica gel condition allowing for optimum change out intervals.

Filter Media

3-micron absolute particulate filtration is provided by a multi-layer polyester filter media.

Oil Mist Collector

Polyurethane foam collects oil mist and distributes air evenly over filter media and moisture absorbing silica gel.

Air Intakes

Air intakes are opened based on flow requirements and provide moisture protection for breather while being shipped/stored.

Connector

Replaces filler/breather cap with versatile connection. Fits standard NPT and BSP.
