Designed to eliminate and protect against moisture and contaminants in gear units, lubricated reservoirs, and electrical transformers

DESCASE breathers design responds to European regulations.

DESCASE Europe breathers:
=> When new, it use 2 to 83 less hazardous substances than most of others desiccants;
=> Because of the efficiency of the color additive the duration is 2 to 5 time greater => generate less waste products.
=> Protect employees and prevent against risk to exposition to chemical hazardous susbtances.
=> Are built in conformity with REACH.
=> Protect perfectly lubricant and lubricated reservoirs againts dust and water contamination.

DESCASE conformity with REACH
Page 63, Article 7, paragraph 3, of European Regulation N°1907/2006, called REACH, established the point that explain why DESCASE desiccant breathers comply with the European regulation: Page 63, Article 7, Paragrah 3 1864.48 Ko

DESCASE Europe standard desiccant breathers use a closed technolgy. Internal chemical substances are not intended to release. The manufacturer and the importer, DESCASE Europe, as required by European Regulation N°1907/2006, can exclude exposure to humans or environment during normal or reasonably foreseeable conditions of use including disposal.

As DESCASE Europe breathers, because of the patented design, are in accordance with REACH - independently of the kind of chemical substances that we use in it - we can use the best colour additive existing on the market. Thousands customers that have been using blue silicagel for more than 50 years and more recently orange silicagels, recognize, at 100%, that the blue silicagel is the most effective and efficient coloured silicagel of the market.

As the blue silicagel is the best coloured silicagel to satisfy the customer application requirements and as DESCASE Europe design is in compliance with REACH regulation, DESCASE Europe breathers continue to use the blue silicagel.

DES-CASE units can be fitted with a 3/4" or 1" connection and must be mounting vertically as shown on following pictures.

Very important note:
Desiccant filters designed to be emptied and refilled with desiccant crystals - that are obviously products where chemical substances is intended to release during normal uses- falling down on the scope of REACH. But if you decide to use DESCASE Breathers, as internal substances are not intended to release during nomral uses, you are sure to use breathers in conformity with REACH

For end users: Benefits of DESCASE on Electrical Transformers

Regarding REACH and chemical substances presents in the DESCASE desiccant breathers:
. No time to spoil in investigation regarding chemical substances; [/b]
. No time to lose to follow REACH procedures for registration, authorisation and potential restrictions of use;
For maintenance:
1. With a refilled filters, maintenance people need 20 to 40 mn, with one or two employees, to replace desiccant;
2. To change a DESCASE, you need only one persona for about 2 mn.
Health and safety:
1. To refill a refilled filters, you must have a special label specifying the chemical hazard, employees must:
2. Be perfectly informed of chemical risk (with frequent training)
3. Wear protective clothes, gloves, respiratory mask and glass....
For disposal:
1. With a refilled filters, you must store and manage bulk polluted chemical substances;[/b]
2. With a DESCASE you have just to put the DESCASE unit where you put your rag and paper impregnated with oil.
