HOW TO EXTEND MACHINERY SERVICE LIFE
INTRODUCTION
Heavy machinery needs consistent maintenance for proper functioning. Badly maintained
machinery operates inadequately and can cause malfunctions.
Below are a few tips to ensure that you will obtain the optimal value of the equipment
you've invested so heavily in.
1.
APPLY PRECAUTIONARY MAINTENANCE

This is separate from routine maintenance. It helps predict wear and tear to the
equipment. The preventive strategy supports restorative actions to guarantee
the best performance and safety.
2.
REGULAR LUBRICANT REPLACEMENT

Examine the lubricant's condition regularly. Opt for a lubricant recommended in the
equipment's user manual, or as advised by the manufacturer.
A regular lubrication maintains a film of grease which prevents contamination of your
surfaces in sealing inter space around each of them. This collar keeps away the dust, sand
and water to filter through and create an abrasive surface and prevents premature wear.
3.
INVEST IN EMPLOYEE TRAINING

Discipline all staff on the suitable use of the equipment to decrease wear and
tear. Train some operators for common fixes in usual malfunctions. More
importantly, teach workers about warning symbols, so they can detect
equipment failure
4.
KEEP MAINTENANCE RECORD

A well-documented record is vital for a preventive maintenance routine. It entails the

preparation of a thorough record of maintenance with the date, time, and technical
specifications. This allows you to build functional maintenance plans, making it simpler to
prepare warranty claims for spare parts.
