Routine oil analysis is key to a successful predictive maintenance program, delivering cost avoidance. Companies typically spend at least 10 percent of their revenues on maintenance and equipment repair. Add to that the cost of equipment downtime, decreased productivity, and devaluation of assets, and it can easily add up to thousands, or millions, of dollars per year. Standard testing programs for equipment reliability are comprised of routine tests that can meet most service requirements.
ALS works closely with OEMs and lubricant manufacturers to establish appropriate testing parameters and alarm limits for specific equipment applications; this enables clients to make the most cost-effective decisions regarding maintenance processes and allows clients to plan maintenance based on equipment conditions rather than unplanned maintenance and downtime.
