You may be looking to do some of the repairs on your machinery yourself. But the reality is that such a thing is usually either not possible, or even in trivial cases of failure, it may not be cost-effective for you. Without having expertise, experience, and of course related educational and educational qualifications, it is very difficult to perform maintenance and repair of road construction and mining machinery.
Repairing road construction machinery requires more than just rolling up your sleeves and getting your hands dirty. Every minute that a piece of such equipment is out of service, time is actually being wasted and money (at least potentially) is being wasted. In this situation, not only will you not be able to carry out the things stipulated in the project well and according to the schedule, but you will also suffer the cost of distorting your brand and reputation.
Technology developments in maintenance of road and mineral machinery
In recent decades, modern machines have entered the country year after year. In some years, the import statistics have jumped and sometimes due to various reasons, including economic sanctions, this statistic has seriously decreased. The disconnection of trade relations with technology-rich countries has caused the technical power and spare parts required for the service and maintenance of road construction and mining machinery to be sometimes lacking. Early heavy machinery is mainly a combination of simple mechanisms. mechanical were next to hydraulic equipment, in these machines the power generator was generally a diesel engine that converted the energy in the diesel fuel into power and torque and delivered a hydraulic pump. The hydraulic pump converts mechanical energy into hydraulic energy and delivers it in the form of oil flow that can withstand high pressures through a hydraulic control valve. In old machines, each of these components were controlled by primitive mechanical systems.
With the advancement of technology, the major functions of various parts, from the power generator to power transmission systems and working components to electronic systems and beyond Computer systems have been entrusted and will probably be handed over to artificial intelligence in the near future. These changes have taken place in harmony with the general developments in the industry in mining machinery, road construction, etc. One of the products of the aforementioned developments is the complexity of work systems in machines.
Some errors in the operation and maintenance and maintenance of heavy machinery
Inadequate knowledge of the device
In the case of old devices with lower technology, operators generally have sufficient familiarity with the features of the device, but as today's devices become more advanced, it is necessary to use an expert and familiar operator. It has become very important with features and options. Device user information is not a secret! Always keep these documents inside the cabin and if you are going to work with a new device, be sure to familiarize yourself with the features of the device, especially the monitor, before starting work. This access can reduce the service and maintenance costs of road construction and mining machinery!
Lack of sufficient knowledge of consumable items and how to perform services
The main responsibility for maintaining the health of the device lies with the device operator. Although the service team is responsible for the correct implementation of the service items of the device, this issue does not negate the necessity of the operator's care and diligence in the daily check of the device, its environment, and its service and maintenance locations. Such a requirement is not possible without the operator's preliminary knowledge and skills. If the user is not familiar with the English language, he must have access to at least a translated summary of the items and methods of performing the service. These documents should also be kept inside the device, training during the work by the service team or the representative personnel of the device can also be effective and practical in this regard.
Immediately increasing the engine speed after turning on the machine and underloading it
Although many users of road construction and mining machines are concerned about the destructive effect of this type of use on the engine of the machine They know, but such a mistake is still seen among users. Perhaps the reason for such negligence is the lack of sufficient knowledge of the amount of damage that is caused to the device in such circumstances. This mistake can be very destructive, especially in those machines that are equipped with a turbocharger, because increasing the speed of the turbocharger before enough oil reaches it at the beginning of the machine, and turning off the machine at high speed, which causes the blade to spin. Smoke without oil pump operation and, of course, oil failure to the turbocharger shaft can seriously damage the shaft and bearings of this expensive part.
Inattention to machine cleaning
Cleaning heavy machinery is not a luxury and useless idea! When we talk about cleaning for a road construction machine, we don't mean using glass cleaner and polish. Rather, it is things like preventing the accumulation of dirt, mud, stones, oil, etc. in the spaces between the underlayment and other surfaces around the device. Failure to pay attention to these issues, in addition to directly affecting the performance of the device, causes leaks to not be recognized as signs of a fault in the device in time.
