How to Service Broken Heavy Equipment for Beginners
A common task entrusted to welders is providing heavy equipment service and performing repairs. While this may seem daunting if you are new on the job, following a clear procedure will help ensure you get the results you need for heavy equipment that is as good as new.
The first step is to make sure the equipment is powered off.
In addition to the exterior power button, double-check the shut-off inside the information box by disconnecting the antennae. If you're feeling unsure that the equipment is powered down, it's safest to check its user manual.
One piece of equipment that frequently needs repair is the wear plate found on the front of a crusher. As rocks are demolished, the particles created go flying away with force. These plates protect the rest of the equipment, which means they suffer lots of wear and tear.
First, the plate needs to be prepared and clean. Any concrete debris should be removed from its surface. Next, the surface needs to be sanded smooth. Afterward, you can draw lines on it to guide the rest of the process. At this stage, the plate needs to be preheated. Then it is finally time for hardscaping.
