Weekly Maintenance To Keep Your Niagara F-Class Vibrating Screen Efficient

Weekly Maintenance To Keep Your Niagara F-Class Vibrating Screen Efficient

Your operation’s efficiency — in large part — depends on the performance of your equipment. That means it’s vitally important to your mineral processing business for your vibrating screens to be operating at peak performance. Unexpected breakdowns and unplanned downtime translate to reduced productivity and — even worse — lost revenue.

The Niagara F-Class Vibrating Screen is engineered to require minimal maintenance. You can further reduce your odds of unexpected downtime by performing regular preventative maintenance on your F-Class screens. A little consistent effort can prevent larger expenses in the future.

A weekly inspection will help keep your rock-solid F-Class vibrating screen in optimal condition.

1. Inspect the Central Lubrication System.

Central Lubrication Systems can automate the greasing process on your F-Class vibrating screen. If your machine is equipped with one, perform a thorough inspection of it every week. Look for blocked grease lines or leaks. If you find any leaks, tighten the connections, as needed, and replace the damaged lines before continuing operation.

2. Check Bearing Temperature.

We recommend checking bearing temperature weekly to identify any issues. Be sure the machine has been running for at least four hours to accurately assess its condition. Use an infrared thermometer to check each bearing’s temperature while the machine is running.

Your F-Class vibrating screen is the heartbeat of your operation. Investing a little time every week to ensure it is performing at maximum efficiency will help you stay ahead of potential problems and, ultimately, increase your operation’s profits.

Preventative maintenance is only one aspect of making sure your operation is working as efficiently as possible. Haver & Boecker Niagara is ready to help your operation reach its full potential.
