RRT provide oil and fuel testing which is sent to a NATA approved laboratory for comprehensive analysis on a quarterly, bi-annual or annual basis. RRT receives a detailed report which is thoroughly reviewed so that the most effective resource recovery technology is implemented for each individual situation.
Oil analysis provides a great deal of information about oil in a machine, but it also provides just as much information about the condition of it's engine or other oil filled compartments and what sort of issues need to be implemented in the near future.
This is why so many mining companies and fleets rely so heavily on oil analysis. It helps them predict necessary repairs and avoid others which might be very costly and also helps them determine if individual filtering requirements.
Studies in the United States, Great Britain and Australia have proven the worth of Oil Analysis with cost savings ratios of up to 1:37 consistently being achieved. In the long run, an effective oil analysis program and filtration system will pay for itself many times over.
This is a basic program that gives the your information on the current condition of the fluid and the machine. There is enough information given to alert you on potential wear problems as well as contamination from fuel, water, dirt, soot, coolant, grease etc.
This program includes all of the tests from the Condition Based program as well as additional tests needed to monitor fluid properties to determine if fluid is suitable for continued use.
This program includes all of the tests from the Condition Based program and the Extended Drain program as well as particle data from either Optical or Laser Particle Counts and/or FPA. This program gives you the information needed to spot problems in their very early stages. It also gives you the time needed to plan specific corrective maintenance without unscheduled downtime or worse, downtime due to failure.
This program includes all of the testing from the above programs as well as Wear Debris Analysis. With this program we can not only quantify wear conditions, we can qualify the wear as well. This information identifies the types of particles being generated such as Rubbing Wear, Cutting Wear, Laminar Wear, Spalling Wear, Spheres, Corrosive Wear, Fibrous particles and Oxides (Black Ferrous & Red Oxides (Rust)). By qualifying the wear we can be even more specific in our recommendations. When these programs are used effectively, the benefits are enormous. Reduced maintenance costs, reduced downtime, increased production, increased asset profitability. In short, the return on investment can be as little as 2-1 to as much as 37 - 1. Oil Analysis is the most cost efficient diagnostic tool available to you. When used in conjunction with Resource Recovery Technology, the savings can be staggering.
