Desiccant Breathers
Swift Filters is a leading US provider of desiccant breathers used across many applications and industries. Our Swift-Dri™ breather is a top choice for many applications including gearboxes, reservoirs and hydraulic pumps and storage tanks, averaging 20 percent greater moisture retention capacity over other brands in the market.
Our unique design features a longer body, which contains 10 percent higher volume of silica gel desiccant beads, making them five times more effective than traditionally sized breathers, providing optimal defense against humidity in critical applications.
Swift-Dri Desiccant Breather offers Superior Moisture Protection
Swift Filters’ desiccant breather design is a significant improvement over customary dust caps or OEM breathers. When contaminated air enters the top of the breather, it passes through layered filter media, preventing solid particles from entering the breather, providing an additional layer of protection from wear.
Advanced Technology Extends Equipment Life
The advanced silica gel beads also attract and wick moisture from inside the equipment hydraulic reservoir during service or shut-down, keeping equipment dry.
An oil mist collector on the bottom of the breather absorbs any oil vapor or oil splashing up that could get into the silica gel of the desiccant breather, shortening its lifespan.
The built-in status indicator shows current condition of the silica bead life, and acts as a visual indicator to easily recognize when the desiccant breather gel is saturated. This allows for replacement without needing to shut down equipment.
Optional check valves in our CV breathers provide a closed system until airflow is needed. They are ideal for low flow and intermittent operations in high humidity operating conditions, extending the life of the desiccant.
Contaminant Filtration
Swift Filters desiccant breathers include High Performance Polyester Filter Media with
3 micron absolute particle filtration that offers superior protection to keep out dust, dirt, pollen, and airborne microorganisms, ensuring only clean air enters the system.
Versatility
Our desiccant breathers are adaptable to various industries and applications, such as gearboxes, transformers, and hydraulic systems providing more versatility over traditional breathers that typically have limited use in high-moisture environments.
In addition to our Sure-Fit Connection adaptable multi-fit connector instead of a typical filter / breather cap, we also provide several reservoir adapters to fit most size requirements.
