LABORATORY FOR PERIODIC OIL ANALYSIS (SOS)
The Laboratory for Fluid Analysis (S · O · S) is a predictive maintenance tool that reduces downtime and operating cost of the equipment.
This program is used to determine the condition of your system components based on the amount of contaminants found in fluid samples.
Through the S · O · S program we can help you identify early internal engine problems, final drives, differentials, transmission, hydraulics and cooling in order to prevent you costly failures.
Also, being a client of the S · O · S program, you can access the history of the results obtained in your equipments through our website.
