Tank breather

for airthreaded

Overview Breather filters for hydraulic oil tanks reduce ingress of ambient dust and particulates that can contaminate hydraulic oil and shorten component life. These filters are offered in spin-on and inline designs to suit both mobile and stationary hydraulic systems.

Causes and risks Temperature fluctuations and oil-level changes inside reservoirs create pressure differentials that draw in ambient air. Without effective breather filtration, incoming air can carry fine dust and particles that accelerate wear, clog valves and cause premature system failure.

Product types and benefits Spin-on breather filters and inline breather filters provide reliable protection for hydraulic tanks in construction machinery, agricultural equipment, lifting devices and stationary hydraulics. By filtering incoming air, they help maintain oil cleanliness and extend service intervals for hydraulic components.

Main features at a glance

• Removes more than 99.5% of dirt particles from incoming ambient air (airflow up to 15 m³/min)
• Optional pressure control valve available
• Spin-on design enables quick, tool-free replacement and simple maintenance
• Compatible with MANN+HUMMEL hydraulic oil filters for coordinated system filtration concepts

Applications Suitable for construction and agricultural machinery, lifting equipment and stationary hydraulic systems where protection from environmental contaminants and longer hydraulic-system life are required.
