Preventing Equipment Failure: Tips for Maintaining Clean Hydraulic Systems Hydraulic systems play a critical role in many industries, powering both equipment and machines. To keep these systems functioning at their best, it’s essential to maintain clean hydraulic fluid and use high-quality filters. Read below to learn some tips for regular maintenance of clean hydraulic systems […]
View MoreWhy Total System Cleanliness is Critical for Equipment Performance and Reliability When it comes to operating machinery and equipment, one of the most important factors in maintaining reliable performance is doing predictive maintenance and ensuring total system cleanliness. Even minor contaminants in hydraulic fluids, lubricants, and other system components can cause excessive wear and damage, […]
View MoreHydraulic system maintenance is crucial to preventing machinery loss. Breathers are used in conjunction with hydraulic tanks and fluid reservoirs to allow the flow of clean air into and out of the tank, preventing lubricant contamination. Sizing a hydraulic tank breather is essential for optimum operations. At TTI, we are your source for hydraulic tank […]
View MoreMoisture and water vapor can cause the contamination of fluids, and thus significant damage to equipment over time. Desiccant breathers may be connected to various types of equipment reservoirs, storage tanks, oil drums, or other pieces of equipment that require dry air coming into them as the piece of equipment breathes. As machinery breathes, the […]
View MoreAnyone who works in certain tough conditions that are less than perfect understands how lubricant contamination can be a problem for equipment. Contaminants can deteriorate the lubricant and also cause damage to machines. Moisture/water vapor is another type of contaminant that can increase in quantity in lubricating oils. At TTI, we offer desiccant breathers designed […]
View MoreAs various types of equipment and machinery “breathe,” they draw in various types of contaminants, including dust, dirt, and moisture. Due to the contamination of water and oil in machinery, issues such as the depletion of additives, oil oxidation, corrosion, and rust can occur over time, reducing the service life of your equipment. A desiccant […]
View MoreDoes A Hydraulic Tank Need A Breather The presence of water and particulate contamination can inflict substantial damage on a machine with hydraulic components and degrade system performance for equipment over time. This is why desiccant breathers are integrated with hydraulic equipment to block the entrance of airborne moisture from entering the reservoir, thus preventing […]
View MoreBreathers block the entrance of ambient air into a reservoir unless it has first gone through a cleansing process. A reservoir breather cleans any air entering the reservoir as fluid levels decrease due to normal system cycling. This type of cleansing is essential to clean all of the air entering a system, especially in harsh […]

Why Would You Install a Breather On an Oil Reservoir Tank? Equipment like gearboxes, pumps, and reservoirs must “breathe” when the air in the headspace expands and contracts due to temperature changes and hydraulic fluid level changes in the case of hydraulic systems. When this happens, contamination from dust, dirt, and moisture can enter the […]
View MoreHow Desiccant Breathers Work A large percent of equipment is lost to harmful contamination. Whether or not you’re working in harsh environments, humidity levels, and dusty conditions can do some serious damage. Desiccant breathers eliminate moisture, dirt, and other types of particulate contamination from the air which enters various types of equipment and machinery, including […]
