WearCheck’s core condition monitoring
service, which is used by a range of industries
such as power generation, turbine, earthmoving,
industrial, transport, shipping and aircraft.

transformer oils, coolants, greases and filters.
WearCheck was founded nearly 40 years
ago in Pinetown, Durban, and has expanded to
operate a network of ten laboratories across the
African continent and beyond.

is dedicated to the optimisation of plant perfor-
mance management, and offers an additional
range of monitoring techniques such as vibration
monitoring, laser alignment, thermal imaging,
balancing, the testing and control of the effi-
ciency of combustion, heat transfer, and milling.

have no negative impact on WearCheck

normal operations.

nowned group in the industry, and one which
shares WearCheck’s high standards of customer

over several months, and we will continue to
keep customers informed of any changes or
improvements. We would like to reassure our
customers that, as we are integrated into the
Torre family, we are excited at the opportunities
for development and growth that will evolve.”
