Manufacturing

Oil analysis and fluid testing is critical to a manufacturing plant’s production when equipment critical to operations is expensive to replace and failures that shut down production prove costly.

Equipment Types & Test Packages

	Gearboxes (filtered & unfiltered) Oil analysis can be an extremely viable means for preventing gearbox failure, reducing downtime and controlling maintenance costs in both industrial and heavy duty applications.
	Pumps Routine testing and analysis can predict and prevent premature failure allowing equipment managers to schedule downtime, extend pump life and reliability and maintain or improve production levels.
	Hydraulics Hydraulic fluid cleanliness is critical to optimal hydraulic system performance and should be monitored regularly with oil analysis to maintain system health and reliability at a minimal cost.
	Rotary Screw, Reciprocating & Centrifugal Compressors Monitoring compressor oil contamination and component wear should include testing viscosity, total acid number, particle count, water separability and analytical ferrography to effectively predict component failure.

Implementing routine oil analysis and fluid testing in a manufacturing plant replaces random, reactive maintenance events with a preventive maintenance program that gives maintenance and reliability personnel the control they need to:

• Schedule downtime for routine maintenance events
• Reduce repair and replacement costs
• Optimize equipment performance
• Maximize component life
