4 Easy Tips To Keep Your Machinery Efficient | MachineHire.in
Are your machines least efficient than
your expectations!!
Heavy
earth-mover especially dozer, transit mixer & motor graders require routine
maintenance to maintain its efficiency & productivity. Considering
breakdowns of heavy machinery are expensive and unsafe.
Here
are recommendations that should be taken care for extending
machinery's life span:-
1) Routine Checkup!
Every heavy machines are driven by
multiple operators according to their shifts. In this way various faults can be
noticed by different drivers & it is also possible that they can just avoid
informing the owners about it! Thus, considering their overconfidence can cost
you a big maintenance. Its good to keep a supervisor team to get a routine
checkup & prevent every chance of maintenance as well.
2) Scheduled lubrication!
Lubricants
reduce friction around any moving part. A scheduled lubrication maintenance
extends the span of heavy equipment and parts. Lubrication is one of the most
important part of maintenance checks, seeking for signs of excess oil or grease
build-up on movables & check for leaks around coolants. There are specific
kinds of oil and grease for every component. Its easy enough to diagnose
problems with large machinery, the makeup of any contaminants will indicate
which part may be suffering from wear and tear.
3) Common signs of impair!
Vibration, electrical shock, heating,
friction and aging contributes equally towards the breakdown of every part in
heavy machinery, a minor avoiding or carelessness may bring you a
permanent shutdown and list your expensive machines into the JUNK!!
· Vibration could be generated from
gears, belts, joints & lifting parts due to overloading or rough driving
along the site areas.
· Shock could be generated due to poor
operator techniques or leakage current in the electrical zone of the machines.
As the machines are generally metallic, avoiding such shocks may be fatal
enough to death of a good employee.
· Over heating of machinery are mainly
the result of friction, poor lubrication and tattered parts. A regular shift in
the machinery is a good idea for maintaining the efficiency & saving the
bucks as well.
· Age affects many key components such
as Over heating, belts warping, drying & cracking of Seals, Loosing of
Bolts and shearing of shapes
· Discover damages & be sure to
perform the regular replacement of any worn out parts.
4) Cleanliness matters!
There are filters that require regular
washing to keep working parts clean and free of contamination. Breathers should
be kept clean to avoid vacuum in the air zones. Rusting is another disadvantage
of storing the machinery in open.
