FILLER BREATHER ASSEMBLY

Filler Breathers are a combination unit for filtering air displacement to the reservoir and straining oil while filling. They are a must for hydraulic systems ensuring clean air passes into the reservoir, thus prolonging the life of the system components. When used as a crankcase ventilator, it helps to prolong the life of the engine oil and the oil filter. They are used in machine tool construction, mining, marine and agricultural equipments.

  + is available in Tank Top (TT) and Side Mounting (SM) options.
 
  + has displacement capacities of 250 LPM and 700 LPM.
 
  + has standard filtration of 40 microns.
 
  + displaces air from underneath the cap thereby improving performance.
 
  + is compatible with all fluids.
 
  + The parts are powder coated and or made from high grade plastic ensuring non-corrosion.
 
  +  has a Safety chain to prevent misplacement while filling oil or cleaning the filter.
 
  +  is a ready to install package with fasteners and safety chain.
 
  + needs to be mounted on a flat and clean surface free of burrs to provide a good sealing surface.
   

A hydraulic filler breather is an important component of hydraulic systems that is responsible for maintaining the cleanliness and integrity of the hydraulic fluid. Hydraulic systems rely on the circulation of hydraulic fluid to generate power and control the movement of mechanical components. The hydraulic fluid needs to be free from contaminants, such as dirt and moisture, to ensure that the system operates effectively and efficiently. The hydraulic filler breather helps to prevent contamination by providing a means of adding and removing hydraulic fluid to the system while filtering out any impurities.

 

What is a Hydraulic Filler Breather

A hydraulic filler breather is a component of hydraulic systems that is used to add or remove hydraulic fluid to the system while maintaining the cleanliness and integrity of the fluid. The filler breather is typically mounted on top of the hydraulic reservoir and consists of a filler port, a breather cap, and a filter element.

The filler port is used to add hydraulic fluid to the system, while the breather cap allows air to enter and exit the reservoir as the hydraulic fluid level changes. The filter element is located inside the breather cap and is responsible for filtering out any contaminants that may be present in the air entering or leaving the reservoir.

The hydraulic filler breather is an important component of hydraulic systems because it helps to prevent contamination of the hydraulic fluid. Contaminants such as dirt and moisture can cause damage to the system by clogging filters, corroding components, and reducing the effectiveness of the hydraulic fluid. By filtering out these contaminants, the hydraulic filler breather helps to maintain the performance and reliability of the hydraulic system.

Components of a Hydraulic Filler Breather

  The hydraulic filler breather is made up of several components that work together to maintain the cleanliness and integrity of the hydraulic fluid. These components include the filler port, breather cap, filter element, and mounting hardware.

 Filler Port: The filler port is the opening in the hydraulic reservoir that is used to add hydraulic fluid to the system. It is typically located on top of the reservoir and is sealed by a cap when not in use. The filler port may also include a dipstick or sight glass to allow the operator to check the level and condition of the hydraulic fluid.

 Breather Cap: The breather cap is mounted on top of the filler port and allows air to enter and exit the reservoir as the hydraulic fluid level changes. It is typically made of metal or plastic and may include a pressure relief valve to prevent damage to the reservoir in the event of over-pressurization. The breather cap may also include a locking mechanism to prevent unauthorized access or tampering.

 Filter Element: The filter element is located inside the breather cap and is responsible for filtering out any contaminants that may be present in the air entering or leaving the reservoir. The filter element may be made of paper, mesh, or other materials and is designed to trap particles as small as a few microns in size. 

 Mounting Hardware: The mounting hardware is used to attach the filler breather to the hydraulic reservoir. It may include screws, bolts, or clamps depending on the design of the breather.

Functioning of the Hydraulic Filler Breather

When hydraulic fluid is added to the system, the filler port is opened and the hydraulic fluid is poured into the reservoir. As the hydraulic fluid level rises, air in the reservoir is displaced and exits through the breather cap. The filter element in the breather cap removes any contaminants that may be present in the air, preventing them from entering the hydraulic system and causing damage.

Similarly, when hydraulic fluid is removed from the system, the hydraulic fluid level drops, and air enters the reservoir through the breather cap. Again, the filter element in the breather cap removes any contaminants that may be present in the air, preventing them from entering the hydraulic system and causing damage.

Maintenance of the Hydraulic Filler Breather

It is important to regularly check and maintain the hydraulic filler breather to ensure that it is functioning properly. The filter element should be checked regularly and replaced if it is dirty or damaged. The breather cap should be checked for signs of damage or wear and replaced if necessary. The mounting hardware should also be checked to ensure that it is secure and tight.

In summary, a hydraulic filler breather is an important component of hydraulic systems that is responsible for maintaining the cleanliness and integrity of the hydraulic fluid. The filler breather allows hydraulic fluid to be added and removed from the system while filtering out any contaminants that may be present in the air entering or leaving the reservoir. Regular maintenance of the filler breather is important to ensure that it is functioning properly and preventing contamination of the hydraulic system.
