Preventative maintenance - Why use a cleaner hydraulic oil?

Today, increasing demand is put upon lubricants in terms of operating temperatures, loads, efficiencies and performance. Studies have shown that up to 80% of oil related machine failures are caused by contaminated oil, so it is a fact that cleaner oil leads to longer component life and increased operational reliability. To maximise reliability, CP Lubricants suggests companies consider condition monitoring by scheduled fluid analysis   

CP Lubricants' HydroMaster Ultra range are certified to ISO Clean code 16/14/11 # at the point of production and the company can continue that code to the sump of your machines by the use of its dedicated decant system, where specialist transfer equipment is used.

The lower the numbers the cleaner the hydraulic oil:

The industry standard for the blending of hydraulic oil is 19/17/14, but the cleaner your oil, the lower your operating costs.
