Luneta’s advanced Oil sight glass technology is transforming lubrication management, saving costs, and boosting reliability in high-demand operations. The Luneta Condition Monitoring Pod expands upon the normal functionality of an oil sight glass to become a strategic asset for any facility focused on running efficiently and sustainably.
Increasing visibility into lubricant condition leads to smarter decisions. In a case at a major container terminal, the Luneta Condition Monitoring Pod (CMP) delivered outstanding results by enabling staff to check oil quality easily and accurately every single day. Moving from scheduled to condition-based oil changes, the terminal stopped wasting oil and money. The maintenance team switched to only replacing lubricant when analysis showed it was truly needed. Over just six months, this data-driven approach saved $3,800, essentially paying for the CMP ten times over.
The Luneta CMP isn’t a regular oil sight glass, it’s an advanced inspection tool. Key features include:
• Tritan sight glass for superior visibility and chemical resistance.
• A magnetic plug that instantly reveals the presence of ferrous wear particles.
• A dedicated sampling port that makes lab verification simple and safe.
Each component is designed for durability, accuracy, and ease of use in challenging industrial environments.
Proven Results: ISO 4406 Cleanliness & Confidence
Worried about oil degradation or unexpected failures? The container terminal’s team used Luneta’s CMP to judge oil quality and send samples for verification. Lab tests confirmed that reclaimed oil consistently met ISO 4406 cleanliness standards, a globally recognized benchmark for hydraulic systems. This validation empowered the terminal to confidently reuse oil and reduce environmental waste, supporting both operational and sustainability goals. This is how using the CMP can provide additional benefits as compared to a traditional oil sight glass.Transform Reliability and Environmental Impact
Beyond the numbers, implementing the Luneta CMP lead to:• More reliable machines through early detection of contamination or wear.
• Increased safety for operations staff
• Reduced environmental risk by minimizing unnecessary oil disposal.
• A repeatable model for efficiency that’s easy for other maritime and industrial sites to adopt.
