Does your hydraulic oil cost more than you think?

printable version
Hydraulic systems are a key element in your production process, so hydraulic oils have to be able to keep up with the pressure. Unfortunately, some oils simply haven’t got what it takes to do the job properly.

The use of cheap, low-performing hydraulic oils can lead to:

 

  • Corrosion
  • Contamination
  • Sludge build-up
  • Increased wear
  • Filter blocking
  • Valve sticking

resulting in:

  • Equipment damage (pump, filter, seals, hose)
  • Premature failure and replacement
  • Increased maintenance requirements
  • Messy, expensive leakages
  • Unplanned filter changes
  • Unpredictable stoppages
  • Expensive downtime

 

All these issues badly affect your machinery – and your own working life. A quick assessment of the average cost running a hydraulic system reveals the financial impact of replacing worn or damaged components, but the additional stress of dealing with unforeseen breakdowns is incalculable.

 

Expenditure on oil forms a minimal part of the average hydraulic system budget, yet the cost of repairing or replacing prematurely worn parts can severely damage your profitability.
