Service

The central component of the STAR programme is the identification of items of plant vital to your continued profitability.

The audit will determine the simple frequency and the risk factor by reviewing;

• Manufacturers requirements
• Environmental conditions
• Previous history
• Operational conditions
• System design factors

The programme enables our service personnel to tailor a package specifically for your plant. The findings of the audit are reported, discussed and agreed prior to implementation. The report will advise on sample frequencies, analysis required and reporting methods.

 

Testing

By utilising the latest up to date methods, we are able to offer an accurate and speedy oil testing service.

Routine samples are analysed within 24 hours of being received at the laboratory. Any problems are notified by fax or email immediately they become apparent.

The following form the core tests carried out on an oil sample;

• Oil conditioning monitoring, to include the level of additives present in the oil confirming its type.
• Contaminants that have entered the system with identification of possible source.
• Wear metals resulting from contamination and wear.

The Lubricant Company laboratory is accredited for the analysis of lubricant samples. Hence, accuracy and reliability are assured.

 

Analysis

Many wear analysis systems simply rely on the laboratory to process results which are based on standard data of previously agreed control limits.

We have taken this one stage further:

• After the first few samples have been processed the system will establish its own control limits.
• A Lubricant Company specialist who uses the service audit as a reference point confirms these limits.
• Each report is analysed by experts and compared against the service audit expectations.

 

Response

On an annual basis, your service specialist will compile a report based on the findings of all the analysis.

The report records the benefits gained from the use of the STAR programme.

Our specialists are trained in establishing the true cost and technical issues that make a real difference to your bottom line.

The report forms the action base for the next twelve months; new plant is added to the schedule and sample frequencies adjusted.
