Ensuring Operational Longevity: The Importance of Cleaning Aggregate Machinery

In the demanding world of construction, equipment uptime is paramount. In order to ensure peak performance, it is crucial to implement a consistent cleaning schedule for your machinery.

Here are some tips to get you started:

• Daily Tasks: After each use, take a few minutes to wipe down surfaces with a rag or brush to remove loose debris. Pay particular attention to areas around air intake vents and radiator grills to prevent overheating.
• Weekly Cleaning: Schedule a more thorough cleaning session at least once a week. Use a pressure washer with a degreasing solution to remove caked-on mud, oil, and grease. Be mindful of the pressure and spray pattern to avoid damaging sensitive components.
• Internal Cleaning: Some equipment, like crushers and screens, may require periodic internal cleaning to remove built-up material. This may involve disassembly and specialized techniques.
• Inspection for Wear and Tear: During the cleaning process, inspect for signs of wear and tear on belts, bearings, and other critical components. If you discover worn parts during your inspection, Crushing Tigers has a host of OEM parts and reputable replacement parts from known brands like FLSmidth, to keep your equipment running smoothly.
