Fluid maintenance

Hytec's Smart Fluid Technology programme allows the company to employ its state of the art laboratory and expertise in fluid technology to assist clients in achieving peak operating efficiency. From oil sampling to detailed analysis, this world-class service has the potential to greatly improve the management of hydraulic systems in any plant.

Water in oil is a dangerous contaminant that must be removed as quickly as possible so that systems can operate effectively. The HFT water detection basket includes cutting-edge inventions like the AS 1000 AquaSensor, an advanced tool for detecting water in oil. It measures the water content relative to the saturation concentration and outputs the degree of saturation as a 4-20 mA signal. Simultaneously, the AS 1000 can be used to determine the temperature. In so doing, it enables hydraulic and lubrication fluids to be accurately and continuously monitored online. HFT offers a complete water detection kit as standard.

For customers who would like to put our Smart Fluid Technology programme to the test, an oil sample kit with 15 sample bottles per box, including an Oil Sample Reference book, is available for R2165-00 per box, which includes analysis of the oil.

The CS 1000 Series of contamination sensors from Hydac features the company’s latest generation of particle counters for continuous monitoring of solid contamination in fluids. Small and tough, the attractive cost-performance ratio of this product makes it especially interesting for OEM-applications.

The AquaSensor AS 1000 is an advancement of the proven AS 2000 series for detecting water in oil. It measures the water content relative to the saturation concentration and outputs the degree of saturation as a 4-20 mA signal. The AS 1000 can be used to simultaneously determine the temperature of the oil and output it as a 4-20 mA signal. In so doing, the AS 1000 enables hydraulic and lubrication fluids to be monitored — accurately, continuously and on line.
