Hose & Tube Cleaning
Testimonial
Dirt, gunk, crud, particulate contamination. Whatever you want to call it, the stuff could be wreaking havoc on your machinery and costing you big time.
Maybe that’s not earthshaking news, but the fact that more than 90 percent of hydraulic system failures are caused by contamination is. A recent John Deere survey discovered contaminated hydraulic systems cost contractors more than any other machine maintenance problem. And what’s equally disturbing is that on machines with sophisticated, high-flow systems, the amount of dirt doing the dirty deed wouldn’t fill a bottle cap.
John Deere is looking at promising new solutions to help prevent this vexing problem. For example, we’ve adopted a filter caddy system that will clean fluids as they run through the filtration unit and back into your equipment.
There is also a new technology called the Ultra Clean System that scours hydraulic systems by shooting a rapid-fire projectile through hose and tube assemblies. The projectile strips out internal contamination as it travels through couplings and around bends, forcing the contamination out in front of it. So oil stays clean as it reaches expensive components, which extends system and filter life.
We can’t stress enough how important a vigilant fluid-analysis program is. Obviously, changing fluids and filters at recommended intervals is critical, too. You can count on Deere to be your ally in the fight against productivity robbing dirt.
