Extending the lifespan of self-loading concrete mixers not only reduces the operating costs of your business, but also improves efficiency and safety. This article will discuss in detail how to extend the self-loading concrete mixer’s service life from the correct use and operation, and good maintenance.
This is a self-loading concrete mixer video, visually demonstrating the exact steps involved in using and operating a self-loading mixer:
Regular training and assessment can ensure that the skill level of operators is constantly improved, reducing equipment damage caused by improper operation.
If the self-loading mixers must be used in harsh environments, appropriate protective measures should be taken and maintenance efforts should be increased.
1. Regular washing: Wash the bodywork regularly to prevent the accumulation of dirt and corrosion and to keep the mix clean and beautiful.
2. Inspection and repair: Timely inspection and repair of damaged parts of the body, such as scratches, dents, etc., to avoid minor problems from evolving into major failures.
3. Anti-rust treatment: Carry out anti-rust treatment in concrete self loading mixer parts that are prone to rust, such as the chassis and frame, to delay the occurrence of rust and corrosion.
1. Replacement of oil and fluids: Regularly replace the oil, hydraulic oil and filters to keep the oil clean and performance, and prevent impurities and pollutants from damaging the equipment.
2. Inspection and replacement of parts: Regularly check the status of each part and timely replace worn parts, such as belts, seals, etc., to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
3. Lubrication and maintenance: Ensure the lubrication of each lubrication point is in good condition, add and replace lubricating grease regularly to reduce the wear and friction of mechanical parts.
1. Choose a suitable storage place: Choose a dry, ventilated and level site for storing it to avoid damage caused by humidity, stagnant water and uneven ground.
2. Regular starting and checking: Even when the mixer has not been used for a long time, it should be started and checked regularly to prevent breakdowns caused by prolonged standing.
3. Protective measures: During storage, protective measures, such as covering dust cloth and sun cover, should be taken to protect the machine.
1. Winter maintenance: The condition of antifreeze, battery and other components should be checked. And insulate the hydraulic system to prevent the hydraulic oil from solidifying.
2. Summer maintenance: You should take care of the cooling system and tyre maintenance. Check and replace the coolant regularly to ensure that the engine does not overheat.
3.Rainy season maintenance: Pay attention to preventing the machine from getting wet, and the electrical system and lubrication system should be checked regularly to prevent corrosion and malfunction.
By following these guidelines, you can significantly extend the service life of your self-loading concrete mixer. Not only will it ensure that the mixer can remain reliable and efficient for many years, but it will also help you reduce the cost of repairing the equipment.
