Des-Case breathers detect excess moisture in equipment before failure occurs

VentGuard breathers are the most accurate available.

Wainbee Limited supplies filtration equipment through its Filtramax division. This lineup includes solutions by Des-Case, which specializes in contamination control to optimize the lifespans of industrial equipment. Des-Case manufactures the most accurate breathers on the market, designed to detect increases in moisture levels and alert users before catastrophic failure happens.

An advantage of Des-Case’s VentGuard breathers is their use of IsoLogic sensor technology, which detects and records spikes in humidity and water ingress.

Elimination of unplanned downtime

IsoLogic enables users to get a predictive look into equipment, by providing early detection of system upset. Businesses can avoid equipment failure and eliminate downtime, which saves money and maintains efficiency. Relevant industries include general manufacturing, aerospace, food processing, pulp and paper, petrochemicals, and the automotive sector.

What distinguishes IsoLogic from any other breather technology available is that it has eliminated the subjectivity of colour-changing desiccant media, so the user knows the exact moment that the breather is fully spent and ready to replace. The sensors inside the breather give an exact digital reading of remaining breather life, saturation direction, and breather temperature. When breather status is always accurate, there is less danger of the user replacing the unit too early or too late, and the equipment remains protected.

Among their many advantages, VentGuard breathers from Filtramax shorten time-consuming scheduled lube routes, reduce the risk of workplace injuries, expand breather life, and provide access to data anywhere via the Internet. Installing this proactive diagnostic tool on remote or difficult-to-access equipment makes it easier to monitor breather status and trend data on the web platform anytime, in the office, at the worker’s home, or even in transport.

Main features of these breathers include the following: sensors, to measure critical values to calculate breather life, temperature, and saturation direction; detachable module, to calculate and store information; threaded mounting; recessed check-valves; primary and secondary filter element; resilient polycarbonate body, which absorbs shock and provides reliable service and easy maintenance; water adsorbent, with silica gel to adsorb water from incoming air; and foam pad, to capture oil mist and disperse air evenly.
