Contamination Causes Most Hydraulic Failures!
 

The experience of designers and users of hydraulic and lube-oil systems has verified that over 75% of all system failures are a direct result of contamination from particulates and water.

 

 

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.

  


Let us help get you on the right track!

 

Call Indcon today and ask for a maintenance specialist to survey your lubrication and hydraulic systems.

 

Let an Indcon representative configure your oil cleanliness online. You might be surprised. !
