Hydraulic contamination is the leading cause of valve and pump failure on a molding machine. Particles score servo valve spools, which produces erratic injection profiles long before anything actually breaks.
The steps ChatterFix schedules for this PM. Every step is a checkable item on the work order — a technician can speak their way through it without touching a keyboard.

Inconsistent shot-to-shot behaviour blamed on the controller, followed by servo valve and pump replacement that the filter change would have prevented.
Sample quarterly and trend particle count. Change filters on differential pressure rather than on the calendar where the machine supports it.
This procedure — and every other PM for your industry — is already built into ChatterFix. Pick your industry and it lands on the right equipment, on the right interval, in about three minutes.
