Martechnic GmbH is a leading expert in oil quality management. Since its founding in 1997, the company’s principal objective has been to provide engineers and users with effective on-site condition-monitoring tools for fuel, lube and hydraulic oil as well as cooling water. For 25 years Martechnic has been designing and developing innovative technical solutions for easy use directly on site to support smooth running, optimal and reliable performance as well as cost-effective maintenance of on-board machinery, engine and equipment.

Martechnic’s wide range of high-quality, made-in-Germany products include:

oil test devices and oil test kits;
cooling water test kits;
intelligent oil sensor technology;
oil sampling bottles;
ultrasonic cleaning equipment;
urea concentration in marine diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) AUS 40.

The use of on-site oil analysis equipment enables maintenance personnel to routinely measure, monitor and analyse crucial oil parameters such as water in oil, alkalinity reserve (BN), viscosity, density, insoluble particles, iron content, cat fines etc. Regular in-service oil analysis with Martechnic’s portable oil test devices and test kits can help to early detect any off-specification issues (ongoing degradation of the oil quality, abnormal wear) and changes in the oil condition (oil contamination) before an actual problem occurs. Quick and accurate test results and their direct assessment allows adequate preventive maintenance actions to fix minor problems and to avoid costly machinery damages and unplanned downtimes. The used oil condition trend analysis provides possibility to efficiently plan on necessary maintenance time and to extend the maintenance intervals.

Oil analysis with intelligent sensor technology provides for continuous condition monitoring and real-time data on specific oil parameters. “MT Modular Monitoring System” of Martechnic offers a combination of different sensors for a customer-specific field of application (M/E, generators, gearboxes, hydraulic systems etc.) and an oil parameter to be monitored. Modular design of the MT System provides for flexibility in sensor selection and various combination options. A digital interface for connection with the special display unit “Datalogger” allows continuous data recording and assessment. Automatic early-warning system of the sensors provides for immediate identification of any occurring changes in the oil condition. So relatively small issues can be efficiently tackled at the pre-alarm level during the uninterrupted operation process of machinery.

Martechnic’s oil sampling equipment includes drip samplers and cubitainers for obtaining representative MARPOL fuel oil samples and various sample bottles for lube and hydraulic oil. All the equipment is completed with a tamper-evident technology for effective protection from any external contamination.

The environmentally friendly ultrasonic cleaning technology offered by Martechnic provides gentle and efficient cleaning of heavily fouled machine parts with difficult-to-reach areas.

Martechnic’s innovative, patent pending test equipment MT COOLANT CHECK offers regular assessment of the engine cooling water quality with an environmentally friendly and chemical-free test method. The water-based coolants and their remaining corrosion protection capacity can now be analyzed in a fully-automated measurement process utilizing the electrotechnical apparatus with corrosion-resistant and corrosion-prone electrodes. The MT COOLANT CHECK runs just one single test with a single coolant sample delivering the test results in about 20 minutes. After determination of chlorid content and the coolant’s anti-corrosion performance in "Lagner" (Lag), the test device provides the precise dosing rate of the additive to be added (in case of insufficient anti-corrosion protection detected). By offering precise and timely maintenance recommendations, unnecessary coolant changes and wastage can be avoided.
