Pladrac Hydraulic Accessories air breathers have been designed to accommodate a wide range of applications from small hydraulic power units to large press reservoirs, Pladrac Hydraulic Accessories has an air breather to meet the performance needs of the application.

Air breathers are vital to the cleanliness of the hydraulic reservoir and fluid. Air contains microscopic particles and microorganisms that can cause serious damage to hydraulic components if not removed from the air prior to it entering the reservoir. As a rule, remember that it costs ten times more to remove contamination from hydraulic fluid than it does to prevent contamination from entering the reservoir in the first place.

Pladrac Hydraulic Accessories air breathers come with several unique media offerings to provide optimal air filtration for hydraulic reservoirs. Pladrac Hydraulic Accessories uses phenolic resin impregnated cellulose media in our plastic air breathers. Impregnating the media with phenolic resin, the cellulose becomes resistant to water, increasing the element stability and performance in more humid environments. Pladrac Hydraulic Accessories also uses our synthetic Z media in air breathers for increased performance. In all cases our Pladrac Hydraulic Accessories air breathers’ media pack is a star pleated media for maximum dirt holding capacity.
