SFR | Oil Analysis & Lubrication Management

Why Oil Analysis?

Lubrication issues are often at the heart of mechanical problems – research from Shell found that 80% of all equipment failures are related to poor or improper lubrication practice.

Oil analysis identifies threats before they become problems, enabling you to prevent expensive breakdowns, minimise machine downtime, boost productivity and improve margins. At less than £100 per machine per year, it is an inexpensive solution, and can be the difference between being able to fill an order successfully and facing a penalty for missing a deadline.

Reduce machine downtime

We give you more control over your machinery by telling you what you need to do to prevent breakdown and minimise downtime.
Meet production targets efficiently

Get more out of your machines by improving reliability, so you can fill orders efficiently and without costly stoppages.
Make production as profitable as possible

We offer an easy, inexpensive way to boost your bottom line by improving productivity and mitigating the risk of machine downtime.

Easily manage your maintenance schedule

Our colour-coded action lists make preventative maintenance easy – we even flag critical issues within 24 hours.

Keep your oil and equipment working effectively and profitably

The condition of the oil determines machine reliability. The surface clearance between components is typically 2-5 microns – any solid contaminants larger than the clearance causes damage. Chemical and water contamination also contribute to component degradation.

Research conducted by the British Hydromechanics Research Association found a clear correlation between fluid cleanliness and breakdown frequency. At ISO 4406 21/18, hydraulic machines broke down every 430 hours on average. When the cleanliness level improved to ISO 4406 14/11, machines went an average of 3,800 hours between breakdowns.

Oil analysis is the only way to monitor and manage wear and tear in oil systems, and it delivers clear commercial benefits. Here are three examples of how we’ve helped customers:

32% fall in maintenance spend at one manufacturer
48% savings on HP filters alone at another
160% increase in component life in an injection moulding machine

Our Clients

We are engineers with more than 20 years’ experience helping manufacturers mitigate risks associated with lube system wear and tear.

Our customers can measure the effectiveness of our intelligent approach. Maintenance spend fell by 32% at one manufacturer. Another saved 48% on HP filters alone. Another saw component life in an injection moulding machine increase by a factor of 1.6.

As a result, our oil analysis service increases both productivity and profitability.
