ANALEXpq Ferrous Debris Monitors provide the most accurate means of detecting and measuring ferrous wear debris in lubricating oils, hydraulic oils and greases. These laboratory grade, rugged, compact and stable monitors deliver retrievable data quickly and simply, ensuring fast, accurate and consistent management of lube condition samples.

The ANALEXpqA unit enables the fully automated operation of batches of samples for measurement and analysis. Operated from four keys placed on the front fascia panel of the unit or remotely operated from a connected PC the pqA features an alphanumeric electronic display which indicates both the current operational status of the unit and a local display of the PQ Index data for each measurement.

The pqA can be presented with three different types of sample:
1) Batches of up to 144 disposable 2ml oil sample pots may be presented using a sample loader.
2) Up to 12 sample pots, without lids, may be loaded onto a specially designed tray fitted to the distribution carousel.
3) Oil samples may be measured directly in bottles. A suitable adaptor allows the bottle to be placed directly onto the measurement sensor.

The unit can also be adapted for use with a laboratory robotics system (contact Kittiwake for more information).

Features

• Automatic recalibration is performed between each sample measurement for highly accurate results.
• Immediate, quantiative measurement of ferrous metal debris in oil and grease samples, enabling you to identify bigger particles that are not measured by other analytical techniques.
• Samples can be presented in sample pots, bottles, on membranes or glass slides. Distribuiton carousels are available for batch loading of sample pots.
• Fast, accurate results for large sample quantities - batches of up to 144 sample pots can be automatically analysed in under 30 minutes.
• Option to permit repeat measurements to be made automatically.
• Data can be easily downloaded and analysed for accurate trend analysis, preventing costly machine downtime.
• Simple 4 button operation, with an alphanumeric display on the front panel which permits selection of alternative modes of operation and gives a local display of the PQ index data after each measurement. The pqA can also be operated from a remote PC keyboard.
