How the Luneta Bowl Catches Contamination Before Failures Strike


Proactive maintenance is more than a goal. It’s a necessity for reliability-focused industries. The Luneta Bowl is setting new standards for early lubricant contamination detection in manufacturing environments.

Real-Time Insights With Every Installation

During a recent case, a machine was experiencing water contamination that other detection methods had missed. Once the Luneta Bowl was installed, maintenance teams immediately saw the presence of emulsified water and metallic debris, right through the crystal-clear Tritan™. That visibility prompted fast, targeted intervention, before a costly breakdown could occur.

Why Mushrooms Matter

One highlight from this case was the unique “rusty mushroom” formation observed on the Bowl’s powerful rare earth magnet. This build-up of iron oxide isn’t just unsightly; it's a direct indicator of internal rust and wear within machinery. If rust appears on the magnet, rust is inside the machine itself. The Bowl makes differentiating between normal wear particles and dangerous concentrations easy, helping maintenance teams act fast when the situation escalates.

The Ultimate Visual Lubrication Monitor
Built from impact-resistant Tritan™ and designed for harsh environments, the Luneta Bowl offers a large, unobstructed 360-degree viewing area and a round bottom that collects sediment and water for quick purging. Its innovative combination of debris monitoring and water sediment detection, all at the drain port, makes it industry’s go-to for reliability improvement.

Seamless Integration, Maximum Impact

The Luneta Bowl adapts with ease to existing drain ports and works perfectly with other Luneta products like the Hub and Column , transforming routine checks into advanced early-warning inspections.
