Waste plastic shredder machine is an important piece of equipment used to process waste plastics, in order to ensure its normal operation and prolong its service life, the preparatory work before downtime is particularly important. These preparations are designed to protect the plastic crusher machine itself, improve efficiency and reduce maintenance costs.

Cleaning the waste plastic shredder machine

Always clean the work area as well as the surface of the waste plastic shredder machine before shutting down the machine. Remove any plastic chips, debris, or dirt from the surrounding area. Make sure the machine surfaces are clean so that debris does not build up and interfere with the normal operation of the industrial plastic waste shredder. Use an appropriate cleaning tool, such as a brush or vacuum cleaner, to thoroughly clean the work area.

Disconnect power and wait for cooling

Before carrying out any maintenance work, always disconnect the power supply to the waste plastic shredder machine. Wait for the machine to cool down to a safe temperature before proceeding. The industrial plastic waste shredder will become hot after a long period of operation, make sure the machine cools down before operation to avoid accidental injury or damage to the internal parts of the plastic scrap shredder machine.

Check tool condition

Before stopping the waste plastic shredder machine, you should check the condition of the crusher’s knives. Ensure that the blades are sharp and not worn or damaged. If the blades are found to be damaged or in need of replacement, appropriate measures should be taken immediately. Sharp blades help to improve crushing efficiency and reduce machine energy consumption, as well as better protect the plastic scrap shredder machine.

Lubricate parts and check lubricant

Lubricating the key parts of the waste plastic shredder machine is one of the necessary maintenance measures. Before stopping the plastic scrap shredder machine, check the working condition of the lubrication system and make sure the lubricant is sufficient and clean. Add or replace the lubricant in time to keep the equipment running smoothly and stably.
