  1. Boost Your Equipment Hardiness Through Cutting-Edge Fluid Testing

    Leave a Comment


    When you think about it, a hydraulic machine is a bit like a human body.  

    The motor and pump act as the equipment’s heart, driving the oil throughout the hydraulic system like blood in a person’s veins. When a person is feeling unwell, or are monitoring an ongoing medical condition, blood testing gives critical insights into what is happening inside their body and helps chart a path forward for their care.

    Some of the most common causes of equipment inefficiency, failure, and reduced lifespan of components come down to contaminants and varnish that build up in the oil and travel throughout the machine’s ‘body’.  In fact, it’s estimated that over 70% of hydraulic system failures are related to fluid contamination. Fuel sources and process fluid are also susceptible to damaging contamination.


    Schroeder’s Oil Analysis Program offers a simple way to stay on top of the health of your equipment!

    Whether your operation has only a handful of machines, or you manage a massive fleet, Schroeder Industries offers an array of accurate lab testing services and easy digital tracking that keep you informed of your machine’s health.



    • Advanced laboratory testing provides accurate insights. Our expert testing encompasses a variety of critical fluid health factors.
    • Multiple test kit options. Schroeder Industries offers three standard testing options, ranging from just the essential fluid values to more in-depth insights.
    • Receive early warnings on fluid condition. Our testing services will advise you when your fluid parameters fall outside industry standards or customized targets/baselines, allowing you to enact preventative maintenance before downtime or failure occurs.
    • Receive personalized support from the experts in fluid health. Our fluid condition experts can help you interpret your results and recommend corrective and preventative measures, improving your equipment’s performance and longevity.
    • Easy fluid test report management through the Fluid Care Portal. Grappling with paper reports and spreadsheets can make tracking fluid condition trends challenging. This user-friendly web application makes monitoring your fluid health simple, no matter the number of machines you operate.

    To satisfy virtually every application, Schroeder Industries offers several different test kit options, all backed by the powerful Fluid Care Portal.

    Basic Analysis Kit

    How does the Fluid Care Portal enhance your fluid analysis program?

    Regular testing is vital for monitoring trends in your fluid health and preventing problems before they arise. However, tracking results over time for many pieces of equipment takes time and hassle. As part of our testing and fluid analysis services, Schroeder Industries is now offering a smart digital solution for detecting trends in the quality of your hydraulic oil, diesel fuel, process water, and more.

    Part of Schroeder Industries’ Oil Analysis Program, the Fluid Care Portal is a new, powerful digital tool for easily tracking the health of your equipment’s fluid as you test over time:

    • All your data is in one place, versus scattered over spreadsheets or various paper reports.
    • Easily monitor trends in fluid testing data over time, allowing you to detect and resolve contamination issues before they begin impacting your bottom line.
    • Monitor as many equipment assets as you need. Whatever the size of your operation, the Fluid Care Portal allows you to individually monitor the testing results for each piece of equipment.
    • Receive alerts when ISO Code, Water Content, or other parameters are exceeded. In the Fluid Care Portal, users can set target limit profiles for various parameters, creating customized criteria for your most critical components.

    Condition Monitoring is Critical

    Filtration isn’t just ‘set and forget’—to address any new contamination issues before they can become serious and ensure continuous protection, ongoing condition monitoring is a vital part of every filtration strategy. Schroeder Industries offers a variety of diagnostic tools to measure particle counts, saturation levels, and other important fluid characteristics.

    Years of careful research and thoughtful development have yielded the new HY-HV-S120, the latest in Schroeder’s diagnostic arsenal. This revolutionary sensor is much more than just a digital particle counter, offering detailed insights into the possible source of contaminants.


    Introducing the HY-HV-S120




    Features & Benefits

    • Oil cleanliness codes: ISO 4406, NAS 1638, SAE AS4059
    • Automatically groups particles by micron size in seven categories – 4, 6, 14, 21, 38. 70, >100µ
    • The integrated S120 sensor differentiates air and gas bubbles from particulates, eliminating them from the total for improved ISO count accuracy.
    • Onboard shape recognition software can categorize particulate into sliding, cutting and fatigue wear, helping target the contamination source.
    • Highly accurate sensor capable of self-calibration for more autonomous operation.
    • Full integration with SCADA/PC/PLC which can be controlled via analogue or digital instrumentation.

    Applications

    • Mobile Equipment Technology
    • Monitoring of Oil Cleanliness in Storage Tanks
    • Surface Mining
    • Construction
    • Fleet Services
