Exol Lubricants introduce fluid-analysis service to help eliminate premature machine failures

EXOL Lubricants, the UK’s largest independent manufacturers and suppliers of lubricant products, have launched a new fluid-analysis service to help eliminate the risk of machines failing prematurely.

‘Fluid Check’ allows machine operators to regularly monitor the condition of the lubricating fluid they are using in a bid to detect the type of contaminants and wear issues that can cause early machine failure.

 

Operators simply draw a sample of fluid from their machine and send it to Exol for comprehensive testing. The results are posted on a secure web-based portal that operators can access in order to download the test data.

The data will tell the operator if the fluid needs to be changed so that maintenance can be scheduled before a failure occurs.

Steve Dunn, Exol Lubricant’s sales director, said: ‘Operators often don’t check the quality of the lubricant in their machines at regular intervals, but that’s mainly because there isn’t an easy, no-hassle system in place to facilitate that.

‘Our Fluid Check service aims to overcome that problem by making it really easy for operators to get a rapid and clear picture of the quality of the fluid they’re using. If there is a deterioration in fluid quality that’s likely to cause a failure, Fluid Check will identify the problem and flag it up so that the necessary maintenance can be completed in good time.’

Each customer using Exol’s Fluid Check service is given a special pack that contains all of the equipment that is required to draw off fluid samples safely and cleanly.
