Daily maintenance of the crawler-type shot blasting machine.

Crawler shot-blasting machines require ongoing daily maintenance. Proper upkeep is essential to protect the value of the equipment and ensure it operates correctly in the field. So, what kind of daily maintenance should be performed on a crawler shot-blasting machine?

The most important task is lubrication. During operation, the machine is subjected to significant forces, generating substantial internal friction. Without lubrication, internal components will suffer wear and tear, drastically shortening the machine's service life. This is particularly critical for key components, such as the blast wheel.

The blast wheel generates a great deal of heat during operation; this thermal energy alters the lubricant's viscosity and causes it to evaporate rapidly. Therefore, fresh lubricant must be applied daily to ensure the machine continues to function properly.

This highlights just how vital daily maintenance is for the proper operation of a crawler shot-blasting machine.

In addition to daily care, crawler shot-blasting machines require major, thorough inspections—conducted seasonally or annually—to ensure continued proper functioning.
