HYDRAULIC FLUSHING PUT MORE MONEY IN YOUR CUSTOMER'S POCKET In approximately 60% of automated hydraulic machines, a six times improvement in component and fluid life can be realized. Valuable production time currently spent treating the symptoms of contaminated fluid can be recuperated. By being proactive, improvements in reliability and longevity of automated hydraulic systems can be dramatic. The enemies are water, air, heat, and solid particles. Substantial savings are to be had if: The water content is kept below 500 ppm (0.05%) Air entertainment and cavitation are eliminated Heat generation is minimized, keeping a general fluid temperature of around 60° C (140° F) A particle count of ISO 16/13 (NAS 7) or better is maintained Only through educating machine owners and maintenance staff, measuring contamination levels, changing the way things are done and monitoring machine performance, will improvements be made and savings realized. SERVICE LAB Mobile, Hydraulic Flushing Service This our new vehicle to deliver an old message. The Message: "Keeping the hydraulic fluid as free of contaminants as possible, pays off!"

It has been evident, after many years of trying to communicate this fact, that a change in the method of delivery was needed. Being reactive to problems in hydraulic systems is very expensive. Example: a hose blows - ... valve malfunctions due to contamination being introduced... cylinder seals fail - replace with stronger ones... valve malfunctions due to contamination being introduced... cylinder clevis breaks - replace it with a stronger one... Measuring what can not be seen (the pressure spikes), to find the true cause of the failures and eliminating them would be a much more cost effective approach. In the case of fluid contamination, it is an accepted fact that 70 - 80% of down time, attributed to hydraulic systems have fluid contamination as the root cause. Many maintenance departments are still spending their time treating the symptoms of fluid contamination problems.
