Waste Sorting Equipmen Special precautions for winter maintenance

During the winter maintenance of Waste Sorting Equipmen, special attention should be paid to the impact of low-temperature environment on the performance of the equipment to ensure normal operation and safety of the equipment.

1. Replace antifreeze and lubricating oil: Low temperatures in winter may cause freezing inside the equipment, so it is necessary to replace the antifreeze and lubricating oil with those suitable for low-temperature environments. For example, use low-pour point diesel and low-viscosity engine oil to adapt to low-temperature environments. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure the cleanliness of the hydraulic oil and gear oil, and replace the filter elements regularly.

2. Preheating and startup: In cold weather, the equipment should be fully preheated before starting to ensure the normal operation of the engine and hydraulic system. For example, it should be preheated for more than 30 minutes before starting up. Only start it when the water temperature reaches the specified temperature. For pure electric sanitation vehicles, the frequency of charging should be increased and attention should be paid to the battery temperature.

3. Inspect and maintain key components: Low temperatures in winter may cause equipment components to crack or get clogged. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly inspect and maintain key components such as pipes, valves, and hydraulic systems. For example, check whether the pipes and valves are frozen and cracked or blocked, and repair them in time. At the same time, check the battery, the charging voltage of the generator, the starter motor and other electrical equipment to ensure their normal operation.

4. Insulation and anti-freezing measures: In low-temperature environments, necessary insulation measures should be taken for the equipment to prevent frost heaving and icing. For instance, insulation materials can be added at the entrance of the equipment to prevent cold air from entering the interior. Meanwhile, ensure that the equipment is placed indoors or take other anti-freezing measures.

5. Drainage and anti-freezing treatment: After winter operations, the remaining water in the equipment should be drained in a timely manner to prevent water pipes from bursting. For example, after the operation, the remaining water in the tank should be drained completely to prevent the water pipe from bursting. At the same time, clean the dust and dirt inside the equipment to keep it clean.

6. Strengthen inspection and maintenance: Low temperatures in winter may cause abnormal operation of equipment, so it is necessary to enhance inspection and maintenance work. For instance, regularly inspect the operational status of the equipment to promptly identify and address potential issues. At the same time, a detailed overwintering maintenance plan should be formulated to ensure the normal operation of the equipment during winter.

7. Safety operation and protection: During winter operations, safety operation and protection measures should be strengthened to ensure the safety of the workers. For example, workers should wear cold-proof clothing and warm gloves to avoid frostbite. Meanwhile, garbage transport vehicles should turn on high-brightness LED warning lights, operators should wear reflective clothing, and safety warning signs should be set up.

8. Maintenance of special equipment: For special equipment such as sewage suction trucks and compression garbage trucks, targeted maintenance measures need to be taken. For instance, in winter, the battery maintenance of the sewage suction truck should be strengthened, the charging capacity of the generator should be increased, and the generator regulator should be adjusted to make the charging circuit voltage higher than that in summer. The compression garbage truck should ensure the cleanliness of the hydraulic oil and gear oil and replace the filter element regularly.

9. Environmental Management: In winter, special attention should also be paid to the environmental management of garbage sorting centers. For instance, keep the environment inside the garbage box room clean and tidy. Do not litter. After the sorting work is completed every day, the garbage box room must be thoroughly cleaned. At the same time, ensure the ventilation and anti-freezing measures of the garbage sorting room to prevent the equipment from getting damp or frozen.

10. Emergency Response Plan: Develop a detailed emergency response plan for low-temperature weather to ensure a prompt response in case of unexpected situations. For instance, stock up on sufficient antifreeze, warming supplies and medicines, adjust the working hours and vehicle operation arrangements reasonably, use more vehicles for operations, and reduce the labor intensity of personnel.

The above measures can effectively reduce the failure rate of Waste Sorting Equipmen in winter and ensure the normal operation and safety of the equipment.
