#Small Rotary Drilling Machine# The Spring Festival is getting closer and closer, and the weather is getting colder. Here, SDLQ editor would like to remind everyone that before stopping work, small rotary drilling rigs and pile drivers must not forget to do winter maintenance for our machines. In order to keep small rotary drilling rigs and pile drivers in good condition and rush to the construction site in spring, SDLQ editor has brought you a thoughtful winter maintenance guide for machines. If you want your pile drivers and rotary drilling rigs to start working well after the holiday, you should first understand these preparations and inspections before the winter break:#rotary drilling machine#
2. Winter Engine Maintenance
The engine is the heart of a small rotary drilling rig and the source of its powerful power. During the cold winter months, SDLQ recommends the following:
1) Choose antifreeze suitable for local temperatures and replace it every year.
2) Change to winter fuel before winter arrives to prevent waxing of regular diesel in the filter and pipes due to low temperatures, which can prevent the engine from starting properly.
3) Choose engine oil that meets the standards.
4) Enable the compressed air system's anti-icing device and regularly check the ether level.
Tip: Many engine manufacturers, such as Caterpillar and Cummins, require the addition of an additive, known as SCA (Supplemental Coolant Additive), to the coolant (a mixture of water and cooling system protectant). This additive is typically applied to aluminum parts where the coolant comes into contact, effectively preventing metal corrosion, mineral deposits, cylinder liner cavitation, and foaming.
2. Winter Electrical System Maintenance
The electrical system is the heart of the rotary drilling rig, crucial for smooth and high-speed operation. It's crucial to maintain your rotary drilling rig's electrical system to ensure it's in top condition for the coming year. Regarding electrical system maintenance, Shandong Yahe recommends the following:
1) Check the battery fluid level;
2) Check the pH value;
3) Maintain the battery plug.
Tips: Start the engine every two weeks to charge the battery and operate all hydraulic actuators, such as the hydraulic motor and telescopic cylinder. Do not remove the battery from the rotary drilling rig to prevent prolonged storage, which can cause the controller's internal software to be lost.#rotary drilling machine#
3. Winter Hydraulic System Maintenance
If the mechanical components are the backbone of a rotary drilling rig, then the hydraulic system is the muscle of a small rotary drilling rig. Those delicate, smooth, and powerful operations are all dependent on it. The hydraulic system also requires your care. During the long winter downtime, the following tasks are essential:
1) Regularly start the rotary drilling rig and enable all hydraulic functions to ensure that the hydraulic drive components are operating regularly to prevent damage to seals due to prolonged inactivity and corrosion of metal components such as cylinder rods.
2) As much as possible, retract all cylinder rods into the hydraulic cylinder oil chamber to better protect the rod surface.
Tip: The selection and cleanliness of the hydraulic oil are crucial to maintaining the performance of the hydraulic system.
4. Winter Mechanical Maintenance
The mechanical components are the backbone of a small rotary drilling rig, and their importance to small rotary drilling rigs goes without saying. The mechanical components also require the most maintenance work during a rotary drilling rig. Careful maintenance of each module is essential to avoid any omissions. Winter maintenance for the mechanical components requires the following:
1) Before storing the rotary drilling rig for an extended period in winter, lubricate and maintain all mechanical joints and bearings;
2) Check the integrity of the dust boots on all mechanical components and replace any damaged seals promptly;
3) Provide rust prevention for metal surfaces exposed to air;
4) Regularly start the engine and operate all reduction gearboxes to prevent damage to the shaft seals and rubber seals within the gearboxes from contact with the gear oil due to prolonged storage.
Tips: Lubrication, dust prevention, rust prevention, and anti-sticking treatments for the mechanical components of a small rotary drilling rig should be performed in the correct order.
The above are the winter maintenance precautions for rotary drilling rigs summarized by SDLQ editors. We hope that everyone will pay attention to these precautions to ensure a safe winter for their small rotary drilling rigs and help you achieve greater success.#rotary drilling machine#
