If your manufacturing machine isn't working as quickly or efficiently as it normally has in the past and you fear that there are problem with the hydraulic fluids, there are some things you want to take into consideration about getting the machine fixed. You want to make sure that the fluid isn't doing damage to the machine, and that everything is alright with the fluids. Without the proper fluid levels and functions the machine can overheat and have other problems. Do the following as quickly as you can.

Check Fluid Levels

You want to check the fluid levels before you call the mechanics, to make sure that you aren't low on anything. If the computer screen doesn't show if fluids are low, then try checking manually. If you aren't able to look into things manually, then you have to call the mechanical professional to come and see if the hydraulic fluids are low or problematic.

Dirty or Old Fluids

It may be time to change the fluids in the machine if you haven't done so in a while, or if you don't know when they were last changed. You want to talk with a mechanical professional about looking at the fluid to see if it's dirty and causing problems for the machine, and to have it all replaced with high quality fluid to help your machine run better.

Filter Problems

You could also have filter problems to deal with if the fluids have been dirty. Have the fluid filters and screens examined and replaced if needed, along with the air filters. If the filters aren't doing their job, this could be causing the hydraulic fluids to get dirty easily while the machines run. Hydraulic fluids and new filters are things that you should purchase and have in stock in the plant at all times.

Proper maintenance of your manufacturing machine is important to help maintain the value of the unit, so that everyone is safe in the workplace, and so you can keep the line running as you need it to. If there isn't a diagnostic warning coming across the screen, you want to make sure that you have a hydraulic repair service come and look at it right away, and that you have the hydraulic fluids looked at and changed. The sooner you target what is wrong with the machine the sooner you can prevent a mechanical or safety concern from developing in your plant.
