SCHROEDER AIR BREATHER

Description & Features

Designed to protect hydraulic reservoirs and other fluid-filled enclosures, this Schroeder Industries air breather filters incoming air as fluid levels fluctuate during system cycling. By capturing airborne contaminants before they enter the reservoir, it helps maintain fluid cleanliness and supports consistent component performance in demanding industrial environments.

The Schroeder Air Breather is a reliable choice for hydraulic power units and related equipment where vented reservoirs require contamination control. Schroeder Industries is a well-regarded manufacturer of hydraulic filtration products, and this unit reflects their focus on functional, application-specific filtration solutions.

Question by: Johnny B on Aug 25, 2025, 5:12 PM

got a vented hydraulic reservoir on a power unit, is this breather meant to keep junk out when the tank level goes up and down?

Answer by: Customer Support on Aug 26, 2025, 7:51 PM

When a reservoir breathes in and out during normal cycling, this Schroeder air breather filters the incoming air so airborne dirt does not get pulled into the tank. That helps keep the hydraulic fluid cleaner and supports steadier component performance on hydraulic power units and other vented, fluid-filled enclosures.

What exactly does this air breather do for a hydraulic reservoir, and is it something I'd need on a standard power unit?

Answer by: Customer Support on Apr 28, 2025, 8:31 AM

On any vented hydraulic reservoir, air gets pulled in and pushed out as the fluid level rises and falls during normal operation. Without filtration on that vent, whatever's floating around in the shop air comes right along with it. This Schroeder unit sits on that vent point and catches airborne contaminants before they ever reach the fluid. For a standard hydraulic power unit, yeah, it's exactly the kind of thing you'd want in place, especially in dusty or dirty shop environments where keeping the fluid clean makes a real difference in how long your components hold up.
