How the Contamination Control Breathers Work
UltraClean hose and tube cleaning
The Ultra Clean Contamination Control Breathers are the perfect replacements for existing breather caps or air vents on fluid holding tanks, gearboxes, or reservoirs. As this diagram (left) shows, when contaminated air enters the top of the breather, it passes through a self cleaning solid particle filter. The filter traps solid particles greater than 2 microns and keeps them from entering the breather and depositing on critical surfaces. The filtered air then passes through a bed of silica gel that adsorbs moisture in the air. During this step, up to 95% of the water vapor in the air is filtered out. Finally, the filtered air passes through an additional 2 micron filter in the bottom of the breather to ensure that no harmful particles will enter the tank or reservoir. This three-stage filtration design ensures that equipment gets clean, dry air!   The diagram on the right shows air being expelled from the reservoir through the desiccant breather. As the contaminated air travels this reverse path, expelled water vapors are adsorbed by the silica gel. During the exhaust air-flow process, the silica gel indicates the presence of excessive moisture inside the reservoir as the gold gel turns to a dark green from the bottom of the breather rather than from the top. An unique feature of the Ultra Clean Contamination Control Breathers is the layer of carbon impregnated foam located on the bottom of most of our breather models. This carbon pad adsorbs small amounts of oil vapor exhaled from the tank and protects the silica gel from minor oil mist contamination. As the exhausted air passes back through the self cleaning 2-micron filter located in the top cap of the breather, any particles that were trapped as air entered the system are no back flushed from the filter.   As the color indicating silica gel adsorbs moisture it changes from gold to dark green. When the silica gel has adsorbed to full capacity (up to 40% of its original weight!), the gel will turn dark green. This color change is easily seen and serves as a visual indication that it is time to remove and replace the disposable breather. Take a look at our Contamination Control Breathers here!

The awards program recognizes the Greater Philadelphia metropolitan area’s most innovative individuals and organizations in their fields. Nomination for the award came from Ultra Clean Technologies’ sales representative, Mike McCormick, who has been a long-time supporter of the company and personal friend of Bruce. “Bruce has always been a leader in his field and built a dynamic company through hard work and perseverance,” Mike explained. “McCormick & Associates, Inc. is proud to represent Ultra Clean’s innovative products in the market for the past fifteen years and feel that the company deserves this recognition.” The Marcum Innovator of the Year awards program, hosted in partnership with Philadelphia SmartCEO, celebrates businesses in Greater Philadelphia that are pioneering new advancements in the fields of Biotech/Healthcare, Business Services, Manufacturing, Real Estate, and Technology. Ultra Clean Technologies was honored in the Manufacturing category for their revolutionary method of cleaning and sealing hoses, tubes, and pipes in the Fluid Power Industry. “It’s really the people at Ultra Clean – sales, engineering, service teams, and others – who do a great job. Our success is really the people at the company for sure,” acknowledged Bruce in his acceptance speech. “We’re really pleased to have won this award – especially for being from a small town in South Jersey.” The award recognition coincides with the company’s fifteenth year anniversary of incorporation in 2001. Winners of the Marcum Innovator of the Year awards were determined by a panel of six judges from top-tier Philadelphia businesses in the digital, financial, legal, banking, and biotechnology fields.

Ultra Clean Tech Upgrades Clean Seal Capsules

What's in a capsule? When you look at our Clean Seal Capsules, what do you see?

There's a lot that goes on behind the scenes to make a product look and feel this good. When we first introduced the Clean Seal Capsules, they were a clear capsule with our logo and a small tear-strip. It was a great first-try and our customers loved it! But they also made some excellent suggestions.

One of the most common suggestions we received was to add a color. The Clear capsules just weren't visible enough from a distance. So we chose a nice, cerulean blue.

The second suggestion was a wider tear strip, or "pull tab." The wider tear strip added strength and kept the tear strip in tact when pulling upward for removal.

The last improvement we made was to lengthen the slits on either side of the tear-strip so that the pull-tab would be more easily accessible to grab. Mechanics in the field that wear gloves have no difficulty in grabbing the longer tear strip for removing the Clean Seal Capsule. Read More
