The Dangers of Poor Fluid Filtration

It’s widely known that oil contamination is the leading cause of equipment failure in hydraulic systems. In fact, approximately 70% of all equipment failure can be traced back to contamination, whether it’s water, dirt particles, or wear debris. Less widely known is the fact that the vast majority of contamination can (and should) be prevented before it even has a chance to impact the performance of your machines. By utilizing preventative maintenance such as proper fluid filtration, you keep your oils and lubricants clean every step of the way, maximizing their lifespan and keeping equipment running optimally.
