HARVARD FILTER SYSTEMS
Harvard’s filter systems are designed and built with quality materials
and craftsmanship to provide years of trouble-free service.
Filter elements for viscosity ranges from fuels to gear oils (ISO
1000). Customers report clean fluids to ISO 13/12/8 in operation.
Contaminate capacity per
element is about four pounds. The
product has demonstrated the ability
to remove one gallon of water
from oil. Water has been demonstrated
down to 21 ppm in
transformer oils, or a dielectric
strength of more than 40,000
volts. Filter carts can be made
to your specifications.
Configurations and elements for
metalworking fluid are also
available. Additional options
include a magnetic pre-filter and
particle monitor.

AIR SENTRY ® MODEL X-100
GEARBOX BREATHER
“THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE”
X-100 desiccant breathers feature moisture removing silica gel, 2-micron
solid particle filtration and pressure-relieving
check valves. Its dual design blocks outside
contaminants from entering gearboxes,
while eliminating excessive expansion and
contraction pressure. X-100 blocks
contamination from entering the gearbox,
while capturing built-up condensation
inside, leaving lubricants clean and dry.
Check valves open on demand during
heating and cooling cycles to provide infinite
pressure relief to gearbox seals.
Air Sentry ® is “The First line of Defense” in
contamination control.

GREASE SAMPLING
AND ANALYSIS
Representative and trendable in-service grease samples are now being
taken with the Grease Thief TM . This breakthrough provides the opportunity
to obtain results from as little as 1 gram of grease. Motor-
Operated Valves and other critical gearboxes
are being sampled with the Grease Thief TM .
The use of the Grease Thief TM in the
place of motor bearing drain plugs
allows for proper grease purging, while
also capturing any purged grease for
analysis. Reliability Engineers finally
have a tool to meet the task of diagnostic
monitoring for grease lubricated
equipment - the Grease Thief TM .
