Thank you for choosing Sparkling Machinery.
The 363-2518 / 363-2519 air breather filter utilizes high-efficiency synthetic micro-glass or treated cellulose media encapsulated within a impact-resistant housing. As hydraulic cylinders extend and retract, fluid levels change, drawing air into and out of the reservoir. This breather filters ultra-fine airborne dust and locks out atmospheric humidity, preventing fluid contamination, pump cavitation, and internal hydraulic component wear. Replacing a clogged or saturated breather prevents vacuum buildup, stops reservoir oil leaks, and protects hydraulic system longevity.

FAQ
What are the primary warning signs that a hydraulic tank breather needs replacement?
Warning signs include visible oil residue or mist blowing out from around the breather cap, collapsed hydraulic lines caused by internal tank vacuum, whining noise from the main hydraulic pump (cavitation), or a heavily discolored, dust-clogged filter element.
How often should the hydraulic tank air breather filter be replaced?
Standard replacement is recommended every 500 to 1,000 operating hours, or at least once per year. In extremely dusty environment applications (such as quarries or demolition sites), breathers should be inspected frequently and replaced more often.
