Why do you need Analytical Ferrography?

Analytical ferrography is a powerful diagnostic tool for detecting machine wear.

Save on Maintenance Costs

Oil analysis programs that use analytical ferrography can result in cost savings ranging from 7 to 20 times the cost of the analysis due to reduced downtime and maintenance costs.

Predictive Maintenance

In a survey of maintenance professionals, 71% stated that oil analysis and analytical ferrography are essential for predictive maintenance, helping them catch potential issues before they lead to costly failures.

Provides Valuable Information

Analytical ferrography provides valuable information about the wear patterns and particle types that can be used to pinpoint the root cause of issues and develop targeted maintenance plans.

The Year of Lubrication Management

As 2025 approaches, it’s the perfect time to evaluate your lubrication practices and set the stage for a year of efficiency and reliability. By auditing your lube room, reassessing lubrication products, implementing condition monitoring tools, and focusing on proactive maintenance and training, you can reduce downtime, extend equipment life, and drive operational excellence. A well-structured lubrication program not only prevents breakdowns but also delivers measurable savings and improved productivity.
