Revolutionize Your Oil Sampling
The information in your oil analysis report is dependent on the sample submitted. A typical sample of 60 mL often represents a volume 1000 times or more. This 60 mL sample contains critical information such as oil condition, contaminants, and wear debris. If the sample is missing important data, your analysis may be inaccurate. Join us in discovering the keys to retrieving reliable oil samples. .

Switching Strategies: Moving to Condition Based Maintenance
Balancing cost reduction and efficiency improvement targets is a common source of frustration for maintenance and engineering managers. For facilities that operate continuously with no window for unplanned shutdowns, poor reliability and availability of machinery is far more serious, but even in factories with regular opportunities for maintenance, recovery can still be expensive and time consuming.

Proactive Oil Analysis
Many maintenance professionals have a limited a view of oil analysis, seeing it only as a way to determine when an oil change is necessary, or to give an alert when a machine component is failing. While these are certainly valid uses for oil analysis, this practice leaves out the most important benefits

Digital Maintenance Plan Avoids More Than £25,000 in Wasted Costs for Yelo
Yelo’s manufacturing plant was custom-built to enable it to produce the highest quality vegetable oil and animal feed using only mechanical processes.
Asset availability and reliability is critical to the business and the management team understood that adopting a ‘run-to-failure’ reactive maintenance approach would be both costly and inefficient.
