What can Oil Testing & Analysis do for YOU!!

Oil testing is like a blood test for your oil. 


Hydraulic Oil plays a key role in Hydraulic Equipment & Machinery.
By taking a small oil sample from your machine we analyse it to see if the oil is contaminated and what type of contamination there is. 

This tells us:

> What is wearing down – eg Pistons, Barrels, Glands, Seals etc
> How much wear is taking place
> If the machine has been overheating
> If the oil is no longer doing its job and is not up to specifications
> How long before a major failure will occur, taking your machine out of production

Being able to detect these changes in oil, we can help you plan any shutdown maintenance work and prevent costly and untimely breakdowns. 

In the end, we want to help you protect your investment and save you money! 

THE FACTS
Studies have shown improper or contaminated lubrication leads to:

43% of Mechanical Failures
54% of Bearing Failures
50% of Roller Bearing Damage
70% of Equipment Failure
