Lost production and expensive capital equipment replacement are major costs associated with any catastrophic failure of machinery, the prevention of which is crucial for optimal operational performance.
Condition monitoring of machinery lubricants is the established method of predicting and avoiding impending machinery breakdown.
Using ferrous debris monitoring, worn parts can be identified early and replaced before any serious damage occurs. Production can be maintained, machinery life extended and the return on capital investment increased.
Off-line condition monitoring involves sampling lubricants from critical rotating plant and equipment and then analysing the lubricant for clues as to the operational condition of the machinery under inspection.
Many off-line tests are available for analysing fuel and lube oil condition and Kittiwake can provide a comprehensive range of tests for these parameters. In addition, Kittiwakes innovative and unique ANALEXpq range provides engineers and laboratory analysts with the ability to screen oil samples for particles of ferrous wear debris.
The following tests & equipment are available:
ANALEXpqM Manual Ferrous Debris Monitor
ANALEXfdM Ferrous Debris Monitor (measurements in ppm - for field or Laboratory use)
