How to store a cone crusher that has been idle for a long time?

If a cone crusher is idle for a long time, the storage method is not appropriate, which will cause certain damage to the equipment. When the cone crusher is used again, it will not only affect normal use, but also increase maintenance and repair costs. So how to store a cone crusher that has been idle for a long time?

1. The equipment needs to be maintained before storage: The cone crusher needs to be thoroughly inspected before storage, and the faulty parts should be repaired in time to keep the machine in a good state, and then the fuel control lever of the machine is placed in the idle position, and the other joysticks are placed in the neutral position.

2. Selection of a site for placing equipment: When choosing a site, it must be selected indoors, and the indoor temperature must be kept dry and appropriate, not too high or too low. You can also add wooden boards to the ground to prevent the ground from being wet. The important thing is that it must not be placed in an open-air environment.

3. Take measures to prevent rust: Before storing the equipment, observe whether the paint on the surface of the equipment has peeling or shedding, and then take measures to repair the equipment. Other exposed metal structures can be coated with butter to prevent rust. After parking the machine, cover the surface of the crusher with a layer of cloth to prevent the oil tank from rusting and dust from falling on the surface, which will affect the performance of the crusher in the later stage.

4. Storage of batteries: When storing the cone crusher, the battery should be removed from the equipment, otherwise the electrolyte is likely to corrode the equipment, which will greatly affect the life of the battery. Therefore, the battery should be placed in a dry and antifreeze place. It is necessary to keep its surface clean and dry, and do not place a conductor on the battery. Here I would like to remind everyone to cut off the negative line and then the positive line when removing the battery; when installing, connect the positive line first and then the negative line.

5. Storage of the engine: Before storage, the cooling water in the engine needs to be drained, and then the engine oil should be replaced. New engine oil is usually neutral and will not corrode the metal parts of the engine. Fill the fuel tank with diesel to prevent the fuel tank from rusting. If the storage time is too long, it is recommended to start the engine once every month.
