1. Analysis from bottle samples
2. Online measurement at the pressure of the hydraulic system up to 420 bar or 6000 psi
3. Online measurements in combination with ECOLINE UMP 045 by ARGO ECOTEC e.g. during filling or off-line filtration of a hydraulic system
PODS is the key element to Fluid Controlling. Regular measurement of the oil condition of mobile and stationary hydraulic systems can be quickly conducted by the user at any time. The comparison of the results with preset oil quality and cleanliness guidelines will trigger oil service measures tailored to the needs of the system. The exchange of filter elements, the replacement of the oil or the cleaning and drying of the pressure fluid is now determined when accepted limit values are surpassed. Machine operating times are prolonged and the oil change intervals are extended, saving costs in maintenance and repair.
