Hydrotechnik Mobile Particle Counter - Patrick in the box
The Hydrotechnik Patrick in the Box is a self-contained, battery-powered particle monitor built for on-site analysis — whether you're sampling from a bottle or connecting directly to a live hydraulic system via MINIMESS® test points. It brings precision contamination measurement to the field, eliminating the delays and costs of sending oil samples away for testing.
Compact, rugged, and ready to go in a protective HPX carry case, it's the practical choice for service technicians, fleet maintenance teams, and anyone who needs a fast, reliable cleanliness reading in the field.
