WearCheck Middelburg gets new lease on life

WearCheck’s Middelburg facility has recently undergone a major revamp, and now boasts a spacious new laboratory with two sections – a dedicated ICP room and a main laboratory containing all the other instruments. The company also invested in new laboratory equipment that has increased sample turnaround time,

A brand new ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma spectrometer) has been installed at the Middelburg laboratory, effectively doubling the laboratory’s capacity with the addition of this second ICP. 

ICP spectrometry analysis provides high-speed detection and identification of trace elements at very low concentrations in oil to determine the levels of wear metals, contaminants and oil additives in lubricating oils.

WearCheck Middelburg also recently acquired a brand new generator.  This helps to bypass any fallout caused by the current power crisis in the country, which has resulted in ongoing and unpredictable load shedding. This now means all of WearCheck’s laboratories have backup power supply, ensuring continuous uptime and uninterrupted service to our customers.      

WearCheck Middelburg’s contact details remain the same:  tel: (013) 246-2966 and physical address: Unit 7A, 13 Mandela Drive, Nungu Industrial Park, in Middelburg.
