Maintenance Protocols for the Terex Wood Grinder
A Terex TSG 511 Wood Grinder
Routine wood grinder maintenance is something many construction and industrial contractors perform unwillingly, and often times with negative long term effects. Regularly opting to neglect maintaining grinders will eventually turn a perfectly fine and working machine into a damaged heap of scrap. By neglect, we are referring to owners who procrastinate in terms of the grinders’ maintenance schedule or by simply not replacing parts when they should. The latter usually happens because these signs are not visible to untrained eye and requires the equipment be taken apart for inspection to find out.
An important part of the wood grinder would be its drum. The Terex grinder’s drum needs proper care and maintenance at all times. Maintenance is essential and keeps your construction equipment machines in good condition. Not only will this ensure high quality results, but it also helps keep its resale value high.A client is paying for and expecting only the best results and if you will not deliver him a good product, then it will undoubtedly negatively affect your business. Therefore, the incentives to make sure their grinders are working perfectly are not only a good habit, but also imperative to maintaining a successful business.
As we mentioned earlier, ignoring repairs usually ends up costing the owner more money over time. The machine will have constant issues and spontaneous breakdowns. To help you prevent that, here are some useful tips to avoid any unnecessary machine damage.
Inspect loads
A very common cause for grinder damage is found at the project site. Loads sometimes carry with them contaminants that are harmful to the machine. Always check and double-check for substances that could potentially have detrimental effects on the wood grinder.
In the event of a contaminant problem, address it as soon as possible by hiring a professional mechanic to inspect the machine. The expert possesses the know how and would presumably know the grinder’s every single detail. A broken machine part will cost a lot of money, so please don’t skimp and try to save money by using old parts thinking they can still run. Replace them with only genuine Terex parts to make sure you have only the best parts in your grinder.
Sledgehammer heads, engine blocks and or steel posts can sometimes cause disastrous damage to a grinder machine. However, sometimes even lighter objects can lead to extreme wear. Municipalities and the contractors themselves need to check loads for harmful objects and remove as many as possible.
