Flanged filler breathers are crucial components in hydraulic systems, designed to allow air exchange while preventing contaminants from entering the reservoir. These breathers are mounted directly onto the tank using a flange connection, ensuring a secure and leak-proof seal. They often incorporate a filter element to purify incoming air and may include pressure/vacuum relief valves to regulate internal tank pressure. Properly functioning flanged breathers help maintain fluid cleanliness and extend the life of hydraulic components.
