  • DES-CASE Breathers

    Desiccant Breathers are a vital step in contamination control. Studies have shown 50-70% of lubricant contamination can come from outside the equipment.


    As most machines are designed to 'breathe', protecting the source of air-flow from moisture and particulate contamination is vital. 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.
