Tips for Crushing Machines

Regular maintenance of crusher machine is quite necessary if you want to save maintenance costs and reduce production loss to the greatest extent, thus leading to a long service life and high output of the crushing machines. As a professional crusher manufacturer, our company has various types of crushers for sale, and some maintenance lips are listed as follows:

First of all, you have to bear in mind some important details while operating a crusher, such as the horsepower, volume, and the crushing force. Improper operation may lead to overload. In addition, you'd better pay attention to the types of rocks.
Secondly, preventive, predictive and reactive maintenance are indispensable. In terms of the preventive maintenance, following the manufacturer's maintenance manual is a must. Regularly check the operation conditions of some key components such as the lining plate and other wear parts. Then it comes to the predictive maintenance, which means that you have to monitor the sand making machine condition while it is in operation. Predictive maintenance tools are needed, including lubricating oil thermometers, lube oil pressure gauges, lubricating oil filter condition indicator device, lube oil analysis, crusher drive motor ammeter and daily operator crusher log sheets. With the help of these tools, you can easily find out the abnormal operation conditions, which is beneficial for your maintenance. Reactive maintenance occurs when the crusher is not operating properly. It means that you have to maintain it as the machine has already been broken. It is suggested that this maintenance be avoided.

Thirdly, you can try to analyse the root cause of the damage, which is cost-effective in the long term, as it can avoid the repeated occurrence of the same problem. What's more, such method can help you to forecast the potential problem, so that you can take effective measures in advance. On the part of root cause analysis, some useful techniques and tools are recommended, such as gathering data, checking the operator's skills and knowledge, inspection of the machine and end product, machine placement, forces of nature, maintenance processes and so on.

Fourthly, pay attention to the training of employees, as many incidents are finally caused due to the improper operation of the employees. When new technology is introduced, employees should be organized in the form of group sessions for training. Proper training can help employees to improve working efficiency and reduce unnecessary incidents. Regular training for employees is absolutely of great significance, so it should be placed on the agenda by the enterprises.
