A portable solution for contamination control

MP Filtri’s latest innovation, the CML3 Portable Contamination Monitor, is now available, offering a cost-effective and reliable solution for contamination management. Designed for use in mobile, construction, and plant-hire sectors, the CML3 provides rapid, precise contamination analysis, empowering users to develop proactive maintenance strategies.
Combining affordability with ease of use, the CML3 makes advanced contamination monitoring accessible to a wide range of professionals—from fleet service engineers to specialist technicians conducting in-depth hydraulic system assessments.
Engineered for portability, the CML3 functions as a mobile laboratory, weighing just 8.5kg and featuring a robust, high impact steel protection cell. Its durable construction ensures resilience in demanding environments, while a single battery charge supports a full day’s operation. Utilising cutting-edge optical and photodiode technology, the CML3 performs comprehensive 8-channel measurements, accurately detecting particulate and water contamination in hydraulic fluids, synthetic oils, and diesel.
With real-time monitoring capabilities, the CML3 supports predictive maintenance, safeguards machinery, optimises
performance, and minimises operational costs and unplanned downtime.
The CML3 is designed to measure contamination across a broad range of industry reporting standards, ensuring compatibility regardless of location or regulatory requirements. Supported standards include ISO 4406, NAS 1638, AS4059 Rev E Table 1 and 2, Rev G Table 1 and 2, GBT14039, GJB420B, and GOST 17216.
MP Filtri UK Ltd Managing Director John Gardner commented: “The CML3 has been created to offer the best in value and productivity. It offers fast, effective and affordable contamination monitoring in a portable package that’s ideal for working in the field:
He added: “It is ideal for multiple sectors where its accuracy and mobility will help it play a key role in helping customers develop their own contamination control strategies – saving them time, money and protecting their hydraulic systems.”
