Water contamination was detected in this sample.

No visible operational issues were reported.

Moisture reduces lubrication performance and accelerates internal damage.

Early identification supports controlled intervention.

Viscosity dropped below the expected range.

This reduces film strength and protection under load.

Lubricant performance depends on maintaining correct properties — not just presence of oil.

Monitoring ensures protection remains effective.

Particle levels increased in this sample.

Wear metals remained stable.

Contamination often appears before mechanical damage begins.

Early control prevents long-term wear.

Small maintenance habits can create major reliability improvements.

Sampling discipline.
Clean storage.
Proper top ups.
Foam control.
Contamination management.

These simple practices often help reduce wear, downtime, and long-term maintenance costs across mining and industrial equipment.

Sometimes the biggest operational gains come from the smallest actions.

The results looked severe.

But the issue was not the machine.

It was the sample.

Incorrect sampling can distort the condition of the system and lead to wrong decisions.

Accurate sampling is where reliable analysis begins.

Techenomics proves regular top ups control foaming in oil

Testing demonstrates top ups minimise oil consumption...
Total fluid management provider Techenomics advises that regular hydraulic oil top ups control foaming levels, thus minimising oil consumption and ultimately reducing costs.

Foam is a collection of small air bubbles that accumulate on or near the surface of the hydraulic oil. As foam is an efficient thermal insulator, the temperature of the oil can become difficult to control.

The presence of bubbles in the fluid can lead to excessive oxidation, cavitation and the reduction of lubricating properties of the oil with potential to result in hydraulics system failure.

Testing provides data, but interpretation provides direction.

Understanding trends, operating conditions and equipment context is essential to turn results into meaningful maintenance actions.

Effective condition monitoring combines data, experience and structured analysis.

A trace amount of glycol was detected.
Even small quantities can reduce lubrication effectiveness and increase corrosion risk.
Early identification supports proactive maintenance decisions.
