Analysis of Lubricants & Fluids – Key Advantages
1. Reduced Maintenance Costs
Fluid analysis enables condition-based servicing, allowing equipment to be maintained when necessary rather than following a fixed schedule. This targeted approach significantly lowers life cycle and operational costs.
2. Minimized Risk of Serious Accidents
Early detection of potential issues through regular lubricant and fluid analysis helps prevent catastrophic equipment failures and reduces the risk of operator injury, enhancing overall workplace safety.
3. Optimized Equipment Life
By identifying contaminants, degradation, and wear particles, fluid analysis protects critical components from unnecessary damage, extending the lifespan of machinery and equipment.
4. Improved Maintenance Scheduling
Monitoring fluid condition allows for better planning of repairs and maintenance around operational needs. This reduces unplanned downtime and its associated costs, ensuring smoother and more predictable workflows.
5. Extended Oil Life
Oil is replaced based on its actual condition, not just on time intervals. This maximizes the usage of each litre, lowers oil consumption, and reduces disposal costs.
6. Reduced Waste and Environmental Impact
Condition-based fluid changes help minimize waste generation and reduce the environmental impact, supporting more sustainable maintenance practices.
