Contamination Costs
The costs due to contamination are staggering and result from:
- Loss of production time
- Component replacement costs
- Frequent fluid replacement
- Costly disposal fees
- Increased overall maintenance costs
- Increased scrap rate on major equipment
On Site Testing
It’s the best option for testing your hydraulic and lube oil. Stop worrying about what’s happening to your oil samples once they leave your plant. Let us introduce you to some real innovations designed to eliminate the risks associated with off-site testing.

Filtration Fact
Color is not a good indicator of a fluid’s cleanliness level.
Filtration Fact
New fluid is not necessarily clean fluid. Typically, new fluid right out of the drum is not fit for use in hydraulic or lubrication systems.
