Why Filter Industrial Oil
As much as 70% of all premature machine failures can be attributed to contamination. To prevent these failures, it is important to purify the new oil as it comes into the facility and then keep it clean throughout its life. By establishing an ISO code cleanliness goal and maintaining it, you will extend the life of the oil and the equipment..

Systems Energy and Emissions Analysis with Electrical Signature Analysis
There are several ways to view the impact of maintenance practices using ESA and electrical measurements, the first is the use of simple overall kilowatt readings from a power analyzer or relay monitoring system; the second is the before and after readings from an ESA device that identifies kilowatt data by defect.
