The Des-Case Portable Laser Particle Counter (PLPC) delivers fast, on-site measurement of hydraulic media contamination levels. Utilizing a unique twin laser system, the device scans 100% of the fluid measurement cell to count particles across eight specific sizing channels without relying on projected estimations. It features an integrated QWERTY keyboard, a large LCD screen, an internal data logger, and a built-in thermal printer for instant field reporting. The rechargeable battery handles up to 100 tests per charge, making it ideal for tracking standard ISO, NAS, and SAE cleanliness levels in mobile or inline setups.
To help you successfully implement portable contamination analysis across your plant, I-care engineers are available to provide professional support. Our experts offer technical advice on calibrating baseline parameters, interpreting complex particle size distributions, and setting up trending software. By combining the Des-Case PLPC with I-care’s engineering guidance, you can securely diagnose machine wear, reduce unexpected hydraulic breakdowns, and verify fluid quality after filtration.
