AVAILABLE OILS AND HYDRAULIC FLUIDS ANALYSIS
Oil analyses are a key component of modern, condition-based maintenance.
Early detection of wear, contamination and oil degradation is critical in preventing unplanned breakdowns; extending service intervals to prevent oil waste; and prolonging the lifespan of machines and components.
Fluid filtration analysis and filter residue analysis – key features of our in-house laboratory, complement the range of services offered by classical fluid analysis. They provide detailed insights into the condition of fluids and filtration systems and enable a sound assessment of potential causes of damage. Based on the analysis results, our experts deliver effective recommendations for damage prevention and process optimisation.
This results in higher levels of plant availability, reduced maintenance costs and increased operational reliability.
Another focus of our laboratory is conducting component cleanliness analysis according to international standards, such as ISO 18413. These analyses are an important part of quality assurance as well as process and supplier monitoring. They provide reliable information about the cleanliness level of critical components and assemblies and enable the targeted identification of contamination sources. This allows for the sustainable optimisation of manufacturing and assembly processes, the prevention of particle-related failures, and the long-term increase in the reliability of technical systems. At the same time, they enhance process reliability and make a significant contribution to ensuring consistently high product quality.
