Three key points for hydraulic system maintenance

When oil enters the hydraulic system for operation, cleaning is the primary issue. Dirt and other impurities should be prevented from entering the system. As you already know, tiny particles can scratch valves, get stuck in pumps, block ports, and cause costly repairs.
How to keep the hydraulic system clean? There are three main points.
Keep the hydraulic oil clean.
Keep the system clean.
Keep the work area clean.
1) Keep hydraulic oil clean
Store the oil in a clean location and be careful when changing or adding oil. Only use a cleaning funnel equipped with a fine mesh filter to pour oil from the container into the tank. Of course, the oil you use must be of the type recommended by the equipment manufacturer.
2) Keep the system clean
Regularly replace oil and filters. Good hydraulic oil contains various additives that can prevent oil from deteriorating or clogging system components. However, these additives will lose their effectiveness after a period of time. Therefore, the oil should be replaced regularly to ensure that the additives are effective. Filters can only absorb a limited amount of dirt particles and other impurities from oil. Replace the filter according to the recommended cycle to keep the system clean.
Drain and refuel
Regularly draining the water and sediment from the oil tank is crucial for removing impurities from the oil, but it is also important to regularly empty the entire hydraulic system. This is the only reliable method to completely remove system impurities, oxidized hydraulic oil, and other harmful substances. Then, the recommended clean hydraulic oil should be refilled into the system.
wash
If the oil is completely contaminated, especially when the pump is damaged, the oil in the tank must be cleaned. Flow the oil through the oil cleaning device until the oil contamination indicator shows that the oil is in a satisfactory state.
3) Keep the work area clean
A) When refueling or refilling the fuel tank, ensure that the area around the filter cover is clean. Only clean oil and funnels or containers can be used. Do not bring dirt into the system - only clean oil is allowed.
B) When maintaining hydraulic systems, only clean plastic plugs can be used to seal the ends of pipelines.
C) When maintaining hydraulic components, the workbench must be absolutely clean. Check the condition of the tools used. They should also be very clean.

Thin oil dispersed lubrication: There are two types of thin oil dispersed lubrication: manual lubrication and fully automatic lubrication. Manual lubrication is generally only used for small parts that are not frequently moved
Thin oil lubrication uses mineral oil as a lubricant. Thin oil has characteristics such as fluidity, adhesion to metal surfaces, certain viscosity and heat capacity, and stable lubrication performance. It also has a certain anti-corrosion effect. However, thin oil is not easy to seal, and the lubrication surface of equipment is prone to impurities such as water and iron oxide scale.
The types of rubber flexible vibration damping soft joint products should be assembled according to the assembly instructions during installation, otherwise product damage and other common problems may occur. To avoid the occurrence of the above-mentioned situation, please strictly follow the installation and use manual for the operation process. Rubber shock-absorbing soft joints have good comprehensiveness and can be used to connect valve fittings, vibrating pipelines, and pipelines with frequent changes in temperature. Rubber flexible vibration damping soft joint assembly is commonly found in the fields of sea surface, water, cold and hot water, drinking water, domestic sewage, light fuel oil, lubricating grease, wholesale of finished oil, steam, natural gas, steam and fine particulate matter powder. The series circular vibrating screen motor is connected to the exciter using a flexible coupling. The exciter can be disassembled and replaced as a whole. The bearings are lubricated with thin oil, and lubricating oil can be added once during operation, making maintenance and upkeep convenient.
Oil air lubrication is a new type of lubrication method that mixes thin oil with compressed air or nitrogen to form an oil air flow, which is transported to the friction lubrication point through pipelines in the form of fine oil droplets. The methods of continuous and intermittent gas supply can meet the continuous and stable lubrication needs of continuous casting equipment.
