Contaminant-free hydraulic systems are crucial for maintaining performance and preventing costly failures. One of the main sources of contamination is during hose manufacturing, particularly from rubber and metal particles produced by cutting tools like drop saws. These particles can quickly spread throughout the system, causing damage to components, internal leakage, and power loss.
At Gerrard Hydraulics, we take extra precautions by projectile cleaning all hydraulic hoses during assembly and sealing them to prevent contamination. If you make your own hoses, investing in a projectile cleaning gun is highly recommended to ensure your hoses are contaminant-free.
