ZF SERVICES INTRODUCES OIL TESTING KIT

ZF Services has introduced an oil analysis testing kit to help marine operators and maintainers understand the health of their transmissions, thrusters and other key components.

A sample of oil is taken and sent to a laboratory for testing to provide an insight into the health of both the component itself and the oil condition allowing customers to review mechanical wear, manage oil change replacement and assess contaminants such as dirt and water.

"By moving to a condition-based approach to maintenance, the service can help eliminate the risk of premature failure as a result of issues such as contamination, fatigue and incorrect oil selection,” said Paul Dean, ZF Services UK marine business manager. “Specifically, it enables users to lower their owning and operating costs with the confidence that ZF is at hand to support their requirement."

Lab data is analysed and practical recommendations issued by email within 48 hours. Results can also be reviewed online.

If oil or filter changes are required, the data and recommendations will advise the operator and they can schedule maintenance. Equally, if mechanical wear is evident this can be addressed before a costly failure occurs.
