Hydraulic Filtration Overview

3 step program

FluidCare™ is a 3 Stage Program designed to deliver optimum equipment performance & contamination control through a total system approach.  Hydraulic Filtration Overview.

Our FluidCare™ Program will streamline and manage your oil & filtration systems delivering quantifiable, lasting benefits;

  • Maximising equipment safety, reliability & uptime
  • Minimising downtime, repairs & maintenance costs
  • Improved fluid life & performance
  • Protecting warranties & longevity of expensive equipment

Over 80% of Mechanical System Failures are a result of Poor Filtration Practices.

Poor filtration practice results in contamination of lubrication systems causing premature mechanical wear & corrosion of equipment, costing companies thousands of dollars.

Knowledge is power.

With our support, understand how simple adjustments and improvements to the way you use, filter and manage lubrication oils, will dramatically extend the life of equipment and deliver significant cost savings.

The FluidCare™ 3 Stage Program is customisable to your application and budget.

Hydraulic Filtration Overview – We can simply provide advice, small improvements or extensive system upgrades. We can train your staff to handle ongoing requirements, or we can implement and manage the entire filtration program for you.

The choice is yours.
