Vector Fleet Management’s Fluid Analysis Program is a preventive maintenance tool. It provides a picture of both the fluid condition and the internal condition of a component or system without disassembly.
Imagine being able to see exactly what’s happening inside your engine, gearbox, or hydraulic system, without a complete teardown. With fluid analysis, you don’t have to imagine.
Fluid analysis systems use information about the vehicle or component to determine alloy composition and wear levels.
For example,
The main piston bearing is made of several layers, with the first layer being steel, the second layer being nickel, and the final layer being copper. If levels of nickel are too high, it means that the bearing has worn through its primary “friction” layer and into its secondary layer, but not the final layer. However, the final layer is still intact. Meaning that the bearing is due for replacement, or may cause severe internal damage.
Using Vector Fleet Management’s Oil Analysis Program, in partnership with Reladyne you can expect:
- Extended Oil Drain Intervals
Get the most out of the fluids you are already paying for. Fewer oil changes minimize your costs, and increase uptime.
- Extended Equipment Life
Monitoring system cleanliness and the efficiency of your filtration systems allows you to keep your equipment longer, and reduce replacement costs due to failures.
- Identify minor problems, before they become a major failure
State of the art analysis will identify dirt, wear materials, fuel dilution, and coolant. These are all contaminants that will cause catastrophic failures and shorten equipment lifespans.
- Maximize the reliability of your assets
Testing and analysis ensures that units are up, running, and reliable.
- Increase the resale value of your fleet
Analysis results provide valuable sample histories that justify a higher resale value, and decrease the chances of ever having a major repair cost.
