Preventive Maintenance of hydraulic systems is extremely beneficial when followed correctly, eliminating a large majority of hydraulic component failures. Hydraulic equipment is frequently exposed to environmental and poor working conditions resulting in machine failures. By implementing a preventive approached to maintain and monitor oil condition, this will reduce unexpected failures and costly downtime. Preventive Maintenance is a discipline that must be followed in order to achieve results. It is estimated that 82% of wear is due to dirt and contamination in hydraulic systems causing failure. 

 

The following are key issues that commonly occur when servicing hydraulic systems. 

• Contaminated oil

• Inadequate filtration

• Incorrect fluid selection

• Low fluid level

• High fluid temperature

• Equipment/ component failure 

 

Below are a few ways Pure Oil is able to assist with preventative maintenance.

• Regular oil analysis

• Provide Hydraulic Oil NAS 5 Cleanliness

• Install bypass oil filtration to equipment, which filters oil to NAS 5.

• Regular machine inspections and fault finding.

• Able to inspect elements using a digital microscope for contaminates.

• Provide fluid transfer and filtration solutions 

• Provide safety and spill equipment
