One of the best things about having a Metso VSI Crusher in your workplace is that you won’t need to shatter each and every rock by hand. Even with the aid of machines and power tools, you might find that you need to spend a lot of man hours and muscle power getting the rocks and materials crushed.

However, you don’t want to have to worry about the crusher not working for you! In order to prevent the rattling and rolling that comes with the crusher getting damaged and eventually not working for you, you need to make sure that you properly maintain your impact crusher. There are plenty of things you can do in order to maintain your impact crusher so that it will always work, and here are some of them!

Check The Air Filter And The Screens

Along with your dryer, the air conditioner in your home, and various other places, you need to make sure that you check the air filter of the Impact Crusher. You don’t want the air filter to become fully clogged because that will cause a lot of problems for the machine. So don’t be afraid to tap on the air filter or blow on it to remove the dust. Additionally, if you notice that the dust is starting to move beyond the primary air filter, you need to make sure to change the safety cartridge.

Additionally, you should take a look at the pre-screen and clean it up in order to make sure that you have a smooth bypass of material. Making sure that all the screens are free of debris and cleaned will lead to a better performing machine.

Make Sure To Check All The Fluid Levels

Everything from the oils to the coolant to the fuel levels all need to be checked and occasionally topped up if needed. In order to prevent damage to the Impact Crusher or the crusher acting at less than full capacity, you need to make sure that you are keeping all the fluids where they need to be.

The DEF fuel as well as the hydraulic fluid needs to be topped up as well, in order to make sure that every single level is perfectly ready for the machine to be used!

Don’t Be Afraid To Deep Clean The Machine

Finally, don’t be afraid to focus on the impact crusher. Activate the RM release system to get any packed dirt out, check for wear and damage, change hammers, and clean every part of the machine.

The more that you focus on maintaining the impact crusher, the more time you will spend working and the less time you will spend fixing the machine!
