Desiccant Breathers for Mining, Oil and Gas and Heavy Industry

Water gets into oil through the breather. Every time a reservoir, gearbox or diesel tank breathes in, it pulls humid dusty air across the oil. That water and grit is where most pump, bearing and gear failures start. A desiccant breather stops it at the door.

We stock the popular TTI PowerBreather sizes in Perth and bring the rest in quickly. TTI PowerGel silica gel holds close to 20% more moisture than the leading brands, the filter is 1 micron absolute, and the clear body shows you when the gel has turned. They are direct replacements for Des-Case, Air Sentry, Parker and Beach part numbers, and we ship in days, not weeks.

Pick your series:

  • Power Breathers (TT-BB to TT-4): the standard unit for hydraulic reservoirs and gearboxes.
  • Power Breathers-CV: check valve version for humid, coastal and washdown sites, or gear that sits idle between shifts.
  • Titan Series: high capacity units for bulk diesel, tank farms and large reservoirs, with a built in oil mist coalescer.
  • Rebuildable Breathers: 304 stainless, up to 85 cfm, for big tanks and harsh sites. Rebuild kits also fit Des-Case rebuildables.
  • Adapter Kits: fit a breather to a gearbox, hydraulic tank, 205 L drum or IBC tote.

Not sure which size? Send us the tank litres, the CFM or the competitor part number you are replacing and we will match it. Trade accounts through Pirtek and Coopers welcome, or enquire direct for site pricing.
