Annual Preventive Maintenance
Annual preventive maintenance is one of the best ways to keep a compactor or baler operating safely and efficiently. Because these machines are made of heavy metal components with numerous moving parts, regular inspections can help identify wear, metal fatigue, leaks, and other issues before they turn into expensive repairs or unexpected downtime.
Shore Compactor Baler Service offers a comprehensive 37-point preventive maintenance inspection and service program designed to help extend equipment life and keep your system operating properly.
Much like changing the oil in a vehicle, the hydraulic system in a compactor or baler also requires regular attention. Hydraulic fluid levels should be checked, and the fluid may need to be changed depending on the condition and usage of the equipment. Filters and strainers should also be inspected, cleaned, or replaced when necessary.
When hydraulic fluid is removed, our technicians can inspect it for signs of metal particles or contamination. Excessive metal particles may indicate internal wear or developing mechanical problems. The technician will also inspect key components for signs of wear and check the system pressure to make sure the ram is operating at the correct pressure for proper waste compaction.
A small adjustment or repair discovered during routine maintenance can often prevent a much larger and more costly problem later.
