Construction machinery is expensive, so proper maintenance is essential to extend its lifespan. In addition to minimizing harmful factors, it's crucial to ensure the equipment operates under normal load conditions. Here’s a breakdown of key maintenance tips:
1. Control Temperature Each component has an optimal temperature range. For example, coolant should be 80-90°C, and hydraulic oil 30-60°C. Operating outside these ranges increases wear, degrades lubricants, and affects material performance.
2. Minimize Mechanical Impurities Dust, dirt, and metal particles can harm machinery by accelerating wear, damaging surfaces, and breaking the lubricant film. This increases friction, overheating, and oil degradation.
3. Reduce Corrosion Corrosion occurs when metal reacts with environmental elements like water or chemicals. It can damage both the exterior and interior parts. Operators should take preventive measures against rain and pollutants to reduce corrosion.
4. Maintain Proper Load Overloading accelerates wear and increases failure rates. Stable loads cause less wear compared to fluctuating or dynamic loads. Engines running under normal loads experience fewer issues and have longer lifespans, while overloading can significantly reduce machinery life.
Avoid working in the rain whenever possible!
