During the cold season, road construction faces challenges as engineering works come to a halt. To ensure the quality and performance of your asphalt mixing plant equipment, routine maintenance is critical during the winter shutdown. This is why asphalt plants close for the winter. Here is a scientific guide to winter maintenance that will help you take care of your asphalt mixing plant.
During the winter shutdown period, it is a crucial step to perform plant maintenance in strict accordance with the maintenance manual. This includes regularly checking key components of the asphalt batching plant to ensure they are functioning properly. From lubrication to electrical components, we should maintain everything according to the manual to improve the life and performance of the equipment.
Ensure that all parts that require lubrication are properly lubricated. Check grease levels and replenish as needed.
Carefully inspect critical electrical components such as infrared temperature sensors. During shutdowns, disassemble and store some critical components to prevent snow-induced corrosion.
Thus, by choosing our asphalt plants, you will receive a precise maintenance programme for your equipment, ensuring that it is maintained to the highest standards and that the life of your equipment is extended, starting with us. In addition, moisture protection measures are also crucial for protecting your asphalt batch plant.
With low temperatures and rain in winter, equipment is susceptible to moisture, leading to corrosion and ageing, and taking moisture-proof measures is key. Especially for asphalt mixing machines in open sites, ensure that the equipment is not subject to moisture during downtime and remains in good condition.
With heavy moisture in winter, take the following steps to ensure that your equipment is not exposed to moisture.
Then we will also put the maintenance to the lubrication process, which is helpful to prevent bearing corrosion.
For bearings that require regular lubrication, it is vital to ensure that the grease is topped up or the filler necks are covered during downtime. This can effectively prevent snow from seeping into the bearings and avoid rusting problems. A scientific lubrication programme is an important part of equipment maintenance.
Furthermore, there are also more tips that you should pay attention to when maintaining your asphalt batch plant in winter.
During winter shutdowns, we should consider a combination of measures against snow water, moisture, rust and rodent damage.
Furthermore, a general maintenance plan is necessary for you to make up.
After the winter shutdown period, it is crucial to formulate a scientific and effective maintenance plan on time. Regular inspection of equipment, to solve the problems found, to ensure that the equipment is always in good working condition, for the start of production after the start of adequate preparation.
Of course, AIMIX will provide a scientific and effective maintenance programme to check the equipment regularly and solve potential problems. Choosing our asphalt plants and our various services ensures that your asphalt mixing plant can be put into efficient production immediately after the winter shutdown.
With scientific planning and maintenance, you can ensure that your asphalt mixing plant remains in top condition even during the winter shutdown period. This not only extends the service life of your plant but also provides a reliable basis for future project production. Winter maintenance makes the equipment more cold-resistant and stable and helps the smooth progress of engineering construction. Of course, if you have more needs about the asphalt plant, you can contact us. Therefore, we will provide more detailed service, and a more high-quality asphalt batching plant, to help your career success!
