What is a Hydraulic and Lubrication Audit?

A Hydraulic and Lubrication Audit is a comprehensive assessment process designed to evaluate and optimise the performance, reliability, and cleanliness of your hydraulic and lubrication systems. This audit aims to identify potential issues, recommend improvements, and ensure that your systems operate at their peak efficiency. 

The Audit Includes: 

1/ Hydraulic and Lubrication System Evaluation

Our audit begins with assessing the reliability of your hydraulic and lubrication systems. We ensure optimal performance by evaluating and properly sizing filters, checking filter indicators, and inspecting tank breathers to prevent contamination. We assess oil cleanliness, review filter change intervals, and identify leak points. Additionally, we evaluate the overall condition of your unit and consider environmental factors to provide tailored recommendations.

2/ Oil Analysis

Accurate oil sampling is crucial for reliable analysis. Our experts identify the best sampling points, use correct sampling methods, and set targets and alerts for monitoring oil conditions. We determine the appropriate frequency for oil sampling and interpret the results to provide actionable insights. We also explore alternative techniques for comprehensive condition monitoring.

3/ Oil Storage and Handling

Proper oil storage, handling, and housekeeping prevent contamination. We ensure correct oil identification, implement best dispensing practices, and use techniques to prevent lubricant degradation. Safe disposal of used oils and spill control measures are essential for compliance. We streamline oil types to simplify maintenance and optimise oil consumption management.

4/ Selection & Provision of Filter Elements

Optimising spare filter inventory is vital for efficiency. We integrate advanced filter technology as needed, manage stock levels to ensure availability, and procure filter elements cost-effectively. Analysing used filter elements provides insights into system performance and identifies areas for improvement.

5/ Continuous Improvement Strategies

Our continuous improvement strategies ensure your systems meet or exceed industry standards. We highlight the financial benefits of proactive condition monitoring and develop maintenance strategies to prevent issues. Enhancing machinery reliability is our primary goal, and we empower your team to manage systems effectively, fostering self-sufficiency.

6/ Ongoing Training Program

We lay the foundation for effective system management by teaching filtration basics and oil analysis techniques. Our training covers maintaining oil cleanliness standards, accurate oil sampling, and on-site oil analysis methods for timely and effective monitoring.

The Benefits:

  1. Enhanced System Reliability: This audit helps identify potential issues and areas for improvement, ensuring your hydraulic and lubrication systems operate at peak performance.
