Particle Pal Pro - Digital Imaging Portable Particle Counter

All Particle Pals, including this unit, can be used on live hydraulic systems (up to a pressure of 350 bar) when the high pressure reducing valve is purchased.

The picture of health

  • Particle Pal Pro
Our all new NEW Particle Pal Pro utilises new digital imaging technology which provides greater insight into the size and type of particulate in any oil system. Air bubble elimination and shape recognition gives root cause particle analysis. Remaining oil life and water content sensors complete the package.

Harnessing the power of proven digital imaging technology

We've embedded the latest in particle counting technology into our new Particle Pal Pro series. Giving ISO 4406 counts as well as 4, 6, 14, 21, 38 and 70 micron sizing and bubble elimination. Digital imaging combined with advanced algorithms sorts particles into fatigue wear, cutting wear and sliding wear categories to give root cause analysis.

This powerful technology, when coupled with additional sensors for measuring water content and oil life, gives unprecedented on the spot insight into the condition of your oil.

Features

  • Particle counts using the counter: ISO 4406, SAE & NAS
  • Broader spectrum of micron sizing – 4, 6, 14, 21, 38 and 70 micron
  • Shape recognition in the software to categorise:
    • Fatigue wear
    • Sliding wear
    • Cutting wear
    • Fibres

High-pressure option

  • A high-pressure version of every model is also available

Particulate analysis.

The digital imaging particle counter gives advanced size and shape recognition for any sample. Counting particulate in virtually any oil up to 2,400cSt, the device also eliminates air bubbles, making it ideal for heavy lube and gear oil applications in cold temperatures. Reporting 4, 6, 14, 21, 38, and 70 micron counts as well as categorising any particle greater than 20 microns into: • Fatigue Wear; • Sliding Wear; • Cutting Wear; • Fibres;

Digital Image Particulate Counter

Capable of broad size determination from 4, 6, 14, 21, 38 and 70 micron counts. Air bubble and water droplet elimination. Shape determination to identify fatigue, sliding or cutting wear as well as fibre identification.

Spider Infographic

A multi-stage infographic helps engineers understand at a glance the condition of their oil, based on all of the data collected from the internal sensors.

Battery Life

Internal rechargeable lithium batteries provide a long life for remote use.

NEW Software

A 10” touch screen LCD allows users to view data in great detail, with zoom, trending and analysis breakdown. Within the software we have embedded oil ageing profiles for over 200 oils. Also included is the ability to self-calibrate an oil life profile, should your oil not be on the database. This is a one time routine where oil is taken through a heat cycle.

Internal Stepper Motor Pump

We've developed a fully controllable stepper motor driven pump to deliver exact flow rates for any oil, from 1 to 2,400 cSt. The pump also allows connection to a live system up to 350bar via a high pressure adaptor.

Particle Pal range

Also available

In addition to the Particle Pal Pro series, we also offer our laser counter FS9V2 Particle Pal range.

See our laser counter product range for more information.

A survey of over 20,000 oil samples showed that the vast majority of oil changes without oil analysis would be conducted at the wrong time by following OEM recommendations rather than by analysis of the oil's ability to continue working and in most cases before the oil's life was fully depleted.
