As temperatures drop, the challenges of managing recycling equipment—balers, compactors, and shredders—rise significantly.
At Nanoia Recycling Equipment, with decades of industry expertise, we are committed to ensuring your operations run smoothly, no matter the weather. Here’s our comprehensive guide to getting your recycling machinery winter-ready.
Why Winterize Your Equipment?
Every winter, we receive urgent service calls from businesses facing equipment failures due to freezing temperatures. The last thing you want is operational downtime during peak business periods.
This guide provides proactive steps to help you avoid such disruptions and ensure continuous, efficient operations throughout the cold months.
Nanoia’s Winter Preparation Checklist
1. Hydraulic System Care:
- Winter-Grade Fluids: Switch to Nanoia’s recommended winter-grade hydraulic fluids to prevent freezing.
- System Checkups: Schedule a complete hydraulic system inspection, including pressure tests and filter replacements, to avoid any mid-winter surprises.
2. Electrical System Maintenance:
- Connections and Seals: Inspect all electrical connections and ensure seals are intact to prevent moisture ingress, which is more likely in colder months.
- Heating Elements in Control Panels: Verify functionality to avoid malfunctions that can lead to operational failures.
3. Structural Integrity:
- Rust Prevention: Address any rust-prone areas before they deteriorate under winter conditions.
- Lubrication: Apply Nanoia’s cold-weather lubricants to all moving parts to ensure smooth operation.
- Weather Stripping and Guards: Double-check these for integrity to withstand harsh winter conditions.
