Introduction of niche VentGuard™ breather addresses market needs

Des-Case Corporation, an innovator of breather technology for industrial markets, has launched a new range of desiccant breather filters specially
designed to prevent contamination in circulating pump systems. The new VentGuard™breathers offer pump users’ greater reliability over traditional breather vents, which provide very little to no protection against moisture and dirt.

Ideal for small to mid-size ANSI and API pumps, VentGuard breathers offer superior protection, helping to maximize the mean time between failures and optimize production output. Two products are included in this initial rollout, the VentGuard VG-1 and the VentGuard VG-4.

The VG-1 is a simple, yet effective miniature breather model that incorporates desiccant and filtration media. The VG-4 is a hybrid technology breather that provides the ideal solution for the management of lubricant condition where there is an increased incidence of bearing and seal failures due to moisture ingress.

The patent-pending design of the VG-4 incorporates the drying capability of desiccant, the cleaning capability of a 3μ filter media, and the sealing capability of an expansion chamber. By combining these proven technologies into one cost-effective package, VentGuard effectively eliminates ingression of dirt and water through vent ports.
