SCHROEDER AIR BREATHER DESICCANT

Description & Features

Designed to protect hydraulic reservoirs and fluid storage tanks from moisture contamination, the Schroeder Industries Air Breather Desiccant filters ambient air entering the system as fluid levels fluctuate. The desiccant media absorbs airborne moisture before it can reach the reservoir, helping to maintain fluid integrity in environments where humidity is a concern.

This Schroeder desiccant breather is a direct replacement or service component suited for hydraulic power units and industrial fluid systems where vented reservoirs require both particulate and moisture filtration. A visual indicator is typical of this product line, allowing maintenance personnel to monitor desiccant saturation and determine when replacement is needed.

got a vented hydraulic reservoir that keeps picking up water, what’s this desiccant breather actually do?

Answer by: Customer Support on Feb 1, 2026, 6:28 AM

When your tank breathes in and out as the fluid level changes, it pulls in outside air. This breather filters that incoming air and the desiccant media absorbs airborne moisture before it can get into the reservoir, which helps keep the hydraulic fluid from getting contaminated in humid conditions.
