ContaminationTest Unit
CTU 1000 Series
The Hydac ContaminationTest Unit
CTU 1000 series is used to determine
the surface cleanliness of lightly
contaminated components.
The reason behind this are the ever
increasing demands on life
expectancy of individual components
and assemblies which has meant
growing demands for technical
cleanliness of components and
systems. Starting with production,
assembly and storage, this extends
right through to operation of the
complete system.
By analyzing the type, size and
quantity of the contamination, quality
standards can be verified and
documented, and the required
measures for improvement can be
implemented.
Applications
zzAutomotive and supplier industry
zzTransmission and engine builders
zzMobile hydraulics
zzManufacturers of hydraulic and
lubrication systems and
components
Advantages
zzReduction in costs as a result of
fewer production failures
zzIdentification and elimination of
weak processes
zzReduction in start-up breakdowns
zzOptimization of both internal and
external handling processes
zzCustomized documentation of the
technical cleanliness of components
