1
Overall Equipment Cleaning and Residue Removal
- Before extended downtime, the equipment must be thoroughly cleaned. Focus on removing any remaining tire debris and rubber residue from the compression chamber, inlet, and outlet.
- This prevents the material from solidifying and agglomerating within the chamber, potentially causing component seizures during subsequent startup.
- Wipe away any oil and dust from the equipment surface to prevent oil from oxidizing and corroding metal components, or dust from entering equipment gaps and impacting subsequent operation.
- Also, clean any impurities from the hydraulic oil tank and filter to ensure clean oil and prepare for the next startup. This prevents residual material from causing equipment failure.

Protective Treatment of Key Components
- Effective protective measures should be taken for key components of the equipment. Apply anti-rust oil to the surfaces of the shear blades and pressure heads to prevent rust from prolonged exposure to air, which can affect component hardness and service life.
- Inspect the hydraulic system piping and seals. Replace any leaks promptly and cover the piping joints with dust covers to prevent dust from entering the hydraulic system.
- Adjust the equipment's moving parts (such as the side thrust mechanism and pressure head) to a non-stressed state to prevent deformation caused by prolonged stress, ensuring the integrity of key components during downtime.
3
Electrical System Power Disconnection and Protection
- For extended downtime, completely disconnect the equipment's main power supply to prevent electrical components from aging due to prolonged power-on, or from damage from lightning strikes or voltage fluctuations.
- When removing cables from electrical components such as control panels and motors, mark them for easy reinstallation.
- Cover the control cabinet and operating panel with dust covers to prevent dust and moisture from entering, which could corrode circuit boards or cause short circuits.
- Also, inspect the electrical wiring for damage and repair any that may occur to prevent electrical failures during the next startup.
4
Standardize the Storage Environment
- Store equipment in a dry, well-ventilated area free of corrosive gases. Avoid humid environments that may cause rusting of equipment components or corrosive gases that may damage metal and rubber parts.
- If equipment is stored outdoors, build a rain shelter and cover it with a tarpaulin to prevent rain from soaking the equipment and excessive sunlight from accelerating aging of rubber parts.
- Regularly inspect the storage environment and remove debris to prevent accumulation that could impede ventilation or accidental collisions.
- Ensure the equipment is stored in a suitable environment to ensure normal use.
