AGM Container Controls, Inc.

New AGM Blog Format Starting in January 2011!

Starting in January 2011, we will have a new format for our blog posts that will feature application stories of AGM products.

While the blog posts will be monthly, rather than weekly, we believe that the application stories will provide you with more information on how AGM products (used alone or in conjunction with other AGM products) will help protect your products from the damaging effects of moisture, pressure changes, vacuum changes, shock, and vibration.

If you have any questions about AGM products or your specific applications, please contact us at 1-800-995-5590. We look forward to working with you.

Desiccant Breathers

These transformer desiccant breathers are constructed with a tough UV stabilized glass loaded polycarbonate, which is extremely durable. They are fitted with a two-way relief valve mechanism that eliminates all maintenance except only replacing the desiccant once it is saturated. All the breathers have a viewing window (there is 180° visibility on the small units) to easily determine when the desiccant needs to be replaced.

New! Re-Actran Self-Reactivating Transformer Breathers

Re-Actran is a self-regenerating transformer breather that uses the natural & environmental thermal cycle of the Transformer to trigger the reactivation of the desiccant & maintain a high adsorption capacity.

An outward flow of air results from the increasing temperature of the transformer. This can be the result of an ambient temperature change, solar heater, or Transformer duty loading. In some circumstances, all three of these stimulation effects will act collectively.

An integral pressure switch detects a change in pressure caused by the outward air flow displacement. This triggers the proportional control thermal heaters & power circuit to manage the reactivation process.

Two sizes are available to accommodate even the largest transformers.
