Pulsarlube AIR Desiccant Breather

Lubrication system failure can be attributed to the condition of the oil. Contamination has
detrimental effect on the efficiency of the system and equipment, and impacts profitability.
 Why is a
Desiccant Air Breather
necessary?
Particles and water are about 80% of the cause of failures in
hydraulic systems, gears and bearings
Pulsarlube Air® Desiccant Breather

Needs
80% of the failures coming from the fluid contamination !
Pulsarlube Air® Desiccant Breather

Needs
In hydraulic and lubrication systems,
inflowing contaminants through the breather vent
port is a common problem
