Contamination Control Services
There are three ways Eastern Contamination Control Services help your bottom line. Think of Eastern Contamination Control as preventative maintenance for every piece of your equipment that uses lubes, machining oils or coolants. Contamination Control systems stop contaminants damage before it occurs. Here’s how you save:
- Extended life of lubes, machining oils and coolants. Contamination Control dramatically extends the service life of lubes, machining oils and coolants. Your company saves on the cost of replacement and the cost of disposal.
- Eliminate contamination damage to tooling and equipment. Even when you can’t see them, contaminants wear out extensive tooling, damage pumps and can cause equipment failure. Eastern can show you low-cost ways to eliminate contaminants and extend equipment life.
- Prevent downtime. Keeping your equipment on-line keeps your production on Schedule. Contamination Control can help reduce downtime by preventing excessive wear, clogging and sticking in lube, cooling and hydraulic systems. Contamination control is particularly beneficial in sophisticated hydraulic systems.
