Filters and breather caps
To prevent any substances from entering the system, the right type of hydraulic filter should be used at all times. The filter will remove any contaminants that may have entered from a previous cycle before returning the fluid to the reservoir to ensure the system always has clean fluid. Depending on the system, the hydraulic filter may be located in the reservoir or just before it somewhere on the return line.Hydraulic breather caps are parts used to protect equipment against moisture and particle contamination. Moisture vapor is stripped from the air and expelled back into the atmosphere by pump cycles which means moisture is exerted with each flow cycle by the opening and closing of the breather caps. These caps also prevent dirt particles from entering the equipment at very high
