Fluid Testing and Oil Recycling Facilities

Regular oil analysis & condition monitoring is essential in keeping machinery working reliably and efficiently. To ensure oil continues working at initial operating levels, we recommend carrying out regular sampling. Our lubricant experts can help with this by taking on-site samples for lab testing. Advisors can then feed back with a detailed 'health' report of your oil. In carrying out this process we can determine the lubricants efficiency, remaining lifespan, levels of microbial or particulate contamination, or assess if the oil can be supported by additives potentially allowing you to get ahead of any issues, costly repairs, or downtime.

Oil Containment Advice & Products

Ensuring that your lubrication storage and dispensing equipment is fit for purpose and that you are following best practice guidelines is essential to running your business in an environment where the use of oil based lubricants and greases are common. Firstly, oil lubricants and greases must be stored and handled in the correct manner not only to achieve strict safety standards but to deliver their maximum performance. Secondly, poor handling and storage of lubricants may result in your workspace becoming dirty, unsafe and contaminated over time. Our experts are on hand to provide advice on oil containment, storage and dispensing. Armed with experience, knowledge, and an impressive catalogue of products, our specialists can work with you to suggest a range of solutions that suit your specific needs.

Fluid Handling & Safety Equipment

Oil and fluid handling equipment is essential in the safe running of a workshop which regularly uses oil lubrication products. As well as a strong health and safety aspect, it is crucial in maintaining an efficient workshop. For this reason, it is imperative that workshop handling and dispensing equipment is suitable for the task at hand and that best practices are being observed. As with all handling of oil lubricants, failure to have the correct robust practices in place risks resulting in costly longer term problems. Not withstanding the reduced efficiency of the products itself. When looking at solutions you need to consider; the specific requirement, the application, the type of fluid used, and the storage environment. Our experts are on hand to provide advice on all aspects of oil containment, storage and dispensing.
