Case Study: Vac-Con achieves lower warranty costs and fewer hydraulic failures with Eaton contamination control system

Eaton contamination control system does the dirty work

Vac-Con, Inc., a manufacturer of industrial vacuum trucks, faced a significant challenge with hydraulic oil contamination, which was causing a spike in warranty costs and system failures. To address this, they partnered with vendor Eaton and its distributor to implement improved assembly procedures and sought a way to reliably test oil cleanliness.

Eaton provided its CCS 4 contamination control system, a mobile unit that delivers real-time analysis of hydraulic fluid. This solution allowed Vac-Con to test every vehicle prior to delivery. The results were a complete elimination of valve and pump replacements in assemblies, zero field failures, and a significant reduction in warranty costs, ensuring pure oil for their customers.
