Cement

The lubrication of plant in the cement industry offers some quite unique challenges. It is not so much the type of equipment that is the issue in this industry but the environment in which these items of plant are operating. Conveyors are driven by reduction gearboxes which would normally use high viscous oils.

Gearboxes and bearings are also found in the numerous crushers that are located in the Infeed section of the quarry but suffer the same issues as for the conveyors in terms of dust. Crusher gearboxes, bearings benefit greatly from regular oil analysis can save a great deal of money in respect of unplanned downtime, and the associated costs of lost production

Pulp & Paper

In the pulp and paper industry, water, heat, steam and dust put even the best lubrication products and procedures to the test. You need your machines to deliver continuously. And with paper machinery operating at speeds over 2,000 m/min and steam temperatures exceeding 200°C, your equipment is under a lot of pressure.

For pulp and paper companies the drying roll is at the heart of production and downtime can cost many thousands of dollars an hour for larger facilities. Consequently the oil-wetted machinery, in a paper rolling machine, consisting primarily of gears and bearings is of critical importance.

Manufacturing

Machine condition monitoring based on oil analysis has become an important, if not mandatory, maintenance practice for many manufacturing companies producing all sorts of products. An effective oil analysis program will keep your equipment running through effective condition monitoring of oil wetted components.

Oil analysis and fluid testing is critical to a manufacturing plant’s production when equipment critical to operations is expensive to replace and failures that shut down production prove costly.

Chemicals

Today’s refineries operate 24/7. Enhanced equipment reliability, improved maintenance scheduling and planned maintenance are all part of a world class condition monitoring program through oil sampling.

Industrial and Petrochemical Oil Analysis protects the critical, specialized equipment used in chemical manufacturing processes and ensures that demanding production schedules are met and profits are secured

Mining

Equipment in this industry is frequently exposed to severe environmental and working conditions. An effective oil analysis program will help to identify component failures before they occur.Routinely monitoring fluid and component condition with oil analysis, coolant analysis and fuel analysis can save valuable time and thousands of dollars in lost production.

Automotive

Oil analysis and fluids testing for automotive is critical. Whether over-the-road or captive, these trucks are on tight schedules with constant pressure to make deliveries safely and on time. Short or long hauls with heavy loads can wreak havoc on engine components.

Routine oil analysis monitors the condition of both the lubricant (contamination) and individual machine components (wear). Coolant analysis monitors changes in coolant properties, due to chemical reactions occurring within the cooling system, before they escalate to failure. It also identifies coolant mixing and deficiencies in cooling system maintenance practices.

Railway & Transportation

Oil analysis, coolant analysis and fluids testing for buses and commercial and commuter trains is critical to their safe and reliable operation, and to keep them running on time around the clock.

Monitoring the lubricants, coolants and fuels these systems use with oil analysis, coolant analysis and fuel analysis ensures peak performance and extends equipment life and reliability.
