Breather Splash Guard & Accessories
Air quality and cleanliness is a major consideration for the reliability of machinery and the safety and protection of both the asset components and the environment.
The IRS Breather Splash Guard works to extend the service life machinery and fluids through removing moisture, solid particles, and other contaminants from air being breathed into machinery compartment. By minimising water contamination in fuel, hydraulic and lube oil systems, downtime of machinery is reduced, productivity is increased and machine life is extended.
Our solution have been designed and developed as a result of working with some of industries largest users of Breathers and observing some of the following issues which arise:
- Non Compliance with Australian Standard AS1940
- Need to extend air breathers life span
- Need to improves mechanical reliability
- Improved fluid cleanliness
- Need to reduced maintenance duration
- Lack of spare parts and accessories readily available.
- Lack of service support available
We have considered some of the following points in our design:
- Compliance with Australian standard AS 1940
- Suits ¾” spin on breather style
- ¾” BSPP thread
- Tested in for a range of conditions
- Compact 100mm diameter X 100mm length stainless steel to prevent rust and corrosion
- Ease of changing breathers and breather accessories
- Reduced service time
- Tank air cleanliness
- Accessories which allow breather splash guards and breathers to fit almost anywhere.

Case Studies
Hose Down Pump
The Magnadrive Adjustable Speed Drive Coupling (ASD) was installed on the Hose Down Pump at South Walker Creek CHPP on the 4th October 2007.
Bearing Skidding
Over the last three years IRS has been monitoring motor bearings displaying various stages of fatigue.
Electric Motor Bearing Defects
The site was experiencing a high frequency of electric motor bearing faults. Condition monitoring reports had identified specific motors as manifesting bearing defects and had suggested that a “lack of lubricant” was a significant factor contributing to the defects.
Grease Contamination
Over the course of several months, site maintenance personnel observed that lubrication system components were failing at a rate higher then what would normally be expected.
