The problem
The machine tells you last.
When a cone or a screen goes down without warning, the plant stops. Trucks wait, the crew stands around, and parts get bought at rush prices.
Bearings and bushings don't fail all at once. Iron and copper show up in the oil first, while the machine still sounds fine. Sample on a schedule, watch the trend, and the repair gets planned instead of forced on you.

What we do
Three things, done every month.
Verdict-first reports
One report a month. Two pages max. The verdict and the action are at the top, and every reading is checked against the alarm limits in the OEM manual.
Bolt-on field service
Oil and filter changes, sampling, and basic servicing of power units, done on site.
How it works
From site walk to phone call.
Site walk and sample point setup
We walk the plant with you, pick the machines that matter, and set a labeled sample point on each one.
Scheduled sampling
Samples get pulled on the same schedule every month so the trend means something.
Lab analysis
Samples go to an independent lab for wear metals, contamination and oil condition.
Report against OEM limits
Results are checked against the manufacturer's alarm limits for that machine and written up verdict first.
A call when something trends wrong
If a reading is heading the wrong way, you hear about it by phone. You don't find it buried on page six.
Equipment covered
Crushing and screening equipment.
Every sample is tested against your OEM's recommended limits for that machine, not a generic chart.
